zebba 'D' 43 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Hi neil, Welcome to the forum, this site is fantastic for anything you need to know about zebras and other birds. I personally haven't seen a saddle back for a long while. You will have to post us some pictures of your birds to have a look at. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Welcome to the forum Neil. You'll probably laugh when you read this. but when you said 'saddlebacks' I immediately' thought , "Oh Neil keeps pigs" (I love pigs!!) I have never heard of that in zebra finches before looking forward to you posting a photograph of them. As Chris said this is a great forum with everyone chipping in to help each other. Looking forwards to reading your posts. Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
