Dad's Christmas Present!

Post by Flautista » Sat Dec 28, 2013 3:55 pm

My dad has always loved my zebbies, so I bought him a pair! I found a pair of crested ones at my local pet shop and it was really hard not to keep them for myself.

THEY'RE SO CHUBBY! And if you make beeping noises, they'll beep with you! AND THEY HAVE LITTLE BOWL CUTS! Ahhh!

Oh, they are just too cute!

You are, of course, going to encourage Dad to let them breed, promising to take the babies off his hands, right?

Very cute couple !! But if i were you, i will not pair 2 crested birds together. That can cause bald on the chicks, or even lethal embryos. Genetically, we should not pair 2 crested birds, better pair 1 crested with a normal one :)
