Hey everyone! Here is some pics of the large, 'natural' nest by zebras made by using a canary basket as a base! It took them about 3 or 4 days to build, and is completely made out of coco fiber and they lined the inside of it with white feathers. They are currently sitting on eggs, however how many I have no idea. I can't peak! Enjoy!

Here are two more! Enjoy!

That's an impressive nest. I didn't know zebras were capable of that. Mine are the worst nest builders in history.

Thanks! I was rather surprised when I saw this huge nest taking shape! They certainly are full of surprises!

This is so cute!!
Your birds are great nest builders.

Now that is one impressive home DIY. Bet you in no time at all little Zebbies will be peeping through that entrance hole.

Quite the little builders you have there

Thanks again everyone! I am very proud of them. Now if I can only get them to raise more than 1 baby successfully!

Awesome nest. I too have found that zebra finches can be quite crafty with builing nest. I had removed all the nest in an aviary but had left dried grasses on the stalk and bambo in the aviary. At first I thought it was the weavers building a nest in the branches but to my surprize it was the zebras. They would gather and rip the grasses and build and build................ unfortunately I had to removed them , along with all the nesting material. They were just overbreeding and I hadn't removed the young so I was afraid of inbreeding.
Anyway, fine builders you have there

That is one impressive nest
