  3. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss and I can sympathies with you. I came home tonight to find that I had lost the best cock bird in my setup, it really puts a dampener on things when you get days like this. Keep your chin up. Gary

  15. Welcome to our community. Your birds should be fine together as Zebra Finches do not like to be kept in isolation, but you will need to separate one of the females if you are planning to breed them. Gary
  16. You may struggle with the older of the two, but it's worth a try. Gary
  17. Hi Jay, Do have any idea of age? The only reason I ask is that as Zebras get older their wings become more frail until they eventually loose the ability to fly. So depending on age it could be a problem. If on the other hand the birds are still young, you do have a chance, but you will need to build their wing muscles up gradually. One of the ways you could do this is to place them in a bigger cage something similar to a double breeding cage so they can learn to fly again and gradually build their muscle tissue. I would also introduce a multi vitamin supplement to their food or water as well and a nice sized piece of cuttle fish bone. Hope this helps. Gary.

Good luck with your birds and I look forward to reading your posts in the future. Gary
