I’m absolutely comforted with your answer to my question today “Zebra Finches’ behavior” (re: Leo and the boys).

Hello, A surprising event was when my pair of Zebra Finches hatched eggs producing 3-healthy baby boys. At 6-wks (ungrateful) a baby male (2) chased, squawking after their dad, at dusk. Odd. I am aware: remove nests, etc. so I did and it made no difference – 2-nests in/out/back in. They really like sleeping in […]
