what type of bird

Post by JezeKat » Fri Aug 20, 2010 7:18 pm

I have a pair of Zebras and I want to get one more pair of a breed of finch.

i need something that will more then likely get along with Zebras. I don't like society they are very pretty but every one i get are really messy...

I am talking dive bombing the water dish and food bowls every one we had while enjoyable where just plain NUTS.

we also need a bird that is hardy.

If you want a fid that is hardy and can hold its own with a zebra, may I suggest shaftails :?: :D

Maybe European goldfinches? They're known to be hardy and they tend to do well with other "pushy" type birds like zebras.

I love my Gouldians, parrot finch and quail!
