2 New Zebra Finches Today

[ranchnanny]

I purchased a pair of Zebs today for $10 with the cage. It was sort of a rescue of sorts. The gal thought she would like them but she didn't. I have been trying to download a couple of photo's but can't seem to get it done. They are all to big and I can't seem to crop them down. Need Help!!.

Your flock is certainly GROWING FAST!
Do you have Adobe Photoshop? if you do I'll tell you how to save them at a low res.

[ranchnanny]

Well I must be dumb as dirt I can't figure out why I can post photos and then sometimes It won't work for me...



I don't know if this is going to work Please let me know!!!!!

[ranchnanny]

Well it worked but it is soooo small



Here I go again......

[ranchnanny]

Well I'll be darn it came through a bit blurry I promise to do better next time.

The white Zeb is a male I was told and the other the hen. Any comments would love to hear what you all have to say.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Ranchnanny~ They're really pretty Zebbies! Love the white! Congratulations! You'll love them!! Mine are always up to something! They're busy all day long and are very curious. I hope to hear of some eggs soon! Have you gone online and compared some pictures of different mutations? Ooooh, names? Have fun!!!

[ranchnanny]

Thanks Trish I wondered about the male being white. I will check online...

I just ordered an Aviary online....I got it bad and that ain't good.....

[6finchfriends]

You are so funny Sherry! We've all got it bad! I think it's good but my husband isn't so sure A new aviary is so awesome!! what kind did you order? I have a Pied Saddleback white male. No cheek markings on him either. The only way I can tell he's a he is that he sings and has a red beak. But his head is pure white with no markings. I think they have the cutest personalities. I think all whites with black eyes are still called pied. But there are people on the forum that know way more than I do. I'm sure they'll pop in here soon. Congratulations on such a great find!

[ranchnanny]

I hope I got the right kind of Aviary its a hex shaped measuring 35'' x 35'' x 72'' and its green with curved legs and a shelf. It also has a roof. It looks like the best fit for me since I have such a small home. It will fit in the corner of the living room right behind my swivel rocker...
When I want to watch the lil darlings I can just swivel around and enjoy....

[ranchnanny]

I am a widow so I don't have anyone to disagree with me. My kids hope I don't end up on that Animal Hoarding show...

[6finchfriends]

That exact thought has crossed my mind- that people will start thinking I'm hording birds! haha...
