Hi all
I've been given some zebras by a colleague (we have an animal unit for teaching land-based GCSEs at the secondary school I work at and I'm the lucky person that gets to spend my days in there, I love it!) and have posted a Q about pairing them up in the colours section. This was the first place that popped up when I started searching the internet having read the book I was given from cover to cover in an hour or so, and what a good find it turned out to be !
My grandad was really into keeping canaries so as a kid I did get a bit an insight into keeping caged birds, he used to have people come from abroad to buy and used to help at the local shows so luckily when my colleague offered us these zebras I wasn't completely in at the deep end (we do have a pair of budgies that needed a home, but not quite the same as these little guys!)
The other really useful thing is that our local society holds their annual show actually at the school itself (may be a bit of a giveaway as to which school it is, but not to worry!)-I haven't managed to be free to attend the last few years but I'm sure I and some of the keen kids will be hoping to see how it all works. I have got one or two of my students who I know keep birds of various sorts, and one who breeds them, so hopefully helping the next generation of bird keepers through as well.
