Baby Zebras!

Post by Boomslang » Sun Jul 06, 2014 2:13 am

Our Zebras, Mr & Mrs Smith, had babies! They're now fledging (at 16 & 17 days) and full of adorable! While they were raised by their parents the babes are quite comfortable with us too. Here are some pictures!

Thank you! This is my first time with baby finches (I've had other baby birds in the past). Mom and Dad are being such diligent parents.

Our Societies just hatched two eggs too; one of the society parents is super hand tame, but I still don't want to bug them much, particularly with their babes still at the fragile pinky stage.

What cutie pies!
Very adorable. That's a cool photo inside the nest.

I love that branch! What type of branch is that? Did you make it into a perch or buy it?
