Zebra finches


They are sitting on eggs but everyday their food dish is wet. Why


Answer:

Hi Kathleen,

Nesting birds will get wet in order to carry humidity back to the eggs. If the water dish is near the food dish, it likely gets wet when one of the parents is getting their feathers wet.

Take care,

Brenda
