Zebra behaviour question
Just got a quick question on Zebra behaviour. I haven't observed them long enough to quite know what it means. But, my pair beak each other every so often. It doesn't look aggressive, but I'm not sure if it looks friendly either. They click their beaks together just on the tips and stand tall at each other. Is it just them interacting innocently with each other or are they not liking each other?

Re: Zebra behaviour question
Very typical behaviour. It could go either way but more than likely it's just them getting to know each other and 'talking' to each other. As well, one will have to be the dominant bird in the flock so they could be working that out. As long as they are not plucking each other severely things should be ok.
