to time it right for rings 2 n week in December. if it goes to plan an the rings do come on the 6th you should be alright.... but the best laid plans of mice and men!!!! with exhibition zebs I have gad to ring birds at 6 days old rather then the normal 7- 9.... then you will have a problem getting the rings on.. something else to try if they are a little tight is olive oil...
good luck with the breeding

well done for having the courage to bench your birds. Good way to test you an your birds. its a nerve racking experience the 1st time you do it.. I would like to say it get's easier each time but I get nervous as **** every time I take my birds to a show.... We all like to win or we would not enter but the social side of the shows are what people who don't bench don't see, the banter, the nervous excitement or just the chance to sit an talk all things birds with people who have the same passion you do. well done to you both. once you have the show bug it never goes away....

well done. if the hen is a white then the chick should be a white cock bird????? some one on here will confirm this as I am not the best at working out the sex links

such is life in keeping these wonderful little birds. I am a big believer that it's natures way. on the rings front remember that you will not get ZFS till the 6th Jan. an zebra chicks need to be rung at 7-9 days. so the ones you have hatched now you wont get 2016 zfs on them.

well done an good luck. and same as above hope to see you at some of the shows. pairing up is difficult !!!!!. you think you have made your choice then you think well I will just try him with her just for a look and you have to start all over again. I have changed my mind 3 times already. then yesterday my farther came(ex champion from yester year) we went through my pairs!!!! an yes you guessed it he talked me into something different. I think the main thing for us newbies is just to get some chicks on a perch.

never mind Emmy. yet again you show just how much you care for your birds. it is plain to see the love you show them. he would of not have lasted the week if you had not taken him from the nest. yet again you gave him the best chance you could, one he would never have had with out you.
so sorry.

Morning Bobby... arnt our uman slaves silly leaving computors or yummy toast out for us. My dad makes me toast with coconut on most mornings but only if I whistle and say good morning nicely.... I am banana crazy right now I just love them, if silly dad puts anything else in my dish I just throw it out!!!! I am only eating banana everything else might kill me and nothing must touch my banana or I just carnt eat it. my banana gets the nasty food poison on it it has to go...... I hope your mum does not send you away just whistle a song and do a dance my dad loves me doing that. locks on cage doors are easy to open I will have to teach you so she carnt keep you in!!! dad has to put a lock thingey on mine with a key to open it. every time I am out I try find it but them umans are so good a hiding things you want arnt they. I better dash or I will be in trouble like you. hope we can chat again soon. happy sqwarking.
