Well Snowflake has a male friend now! I GORGEOUS well colored CFW male, whose name is Jack Frost. He is singing to her, and she immediately went to him when I put him in the cage! I can now here there happy beeps and meeps and his singing, such a wonderful sound! I will post pictures once he and they get settled in together! :D

Congrats, well colored CFW males aren't the easiest to find. So much for the transition phase, huh? Sounds like she wanted a friend. :wink: In typical Zebra fashion, putting couples together can be a interesting experience. We've had some take immediately like your two and then we've had some that never worked it out at all and we had to go in a totally different direction. Patiently waiting on those pics...

I think she had been without any finch company for a day and a night and so was relieved to finally have another finch and it just happened to be a male. They are both now resting side by side on the same branch. He has a cute little song that he has been singing off and on. Is it ok to breed to CFW's together? There offspring won't be blind will they?
