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!!.

You are so funny Sherry! :lol: We've all got it bad! I think it's good but my husband isn't so sure =D> A new aviary is so awesome!! =D> 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!

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...
8) When I want to watch the lil darlings I can just swivel around and enjoy....
