Keiron Kent 23 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 Hi ChrisI have 3 of his brothers, 2 fawns, 1 normal and a fawn sister to him at home.One of his fawn brothers and his girlfriend had 5 chicks that sadly died because they never fed them. Hopefully they’ll get the hang of it next time round, although very frustrating at times.His 2 other brothers and his sister are sitting due to hatch any time soon.Keiron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulm 119 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 They may need time to get use to a show cage first as if their nervous they will pull themselve's in and not look natural. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 hi paul, Cheers for comments, not showning zebra finches before i find it hard to judge my finches to see if they have anywhere near the standards needed for the bench. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulm 119 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Hi Chris They bast way to tell is to bench some in a show is will give you the best idea as to what your birds are like and what you need to work on with them,also studie the standard image on the Zfs website after all this is the standard your birds are judged against.
