KareemSerry 16 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Hi all, If you've been reading my previous topics you'd know that i had a female zebra finch lose her mate in a hawk accident. I went out and bought her 5 more zebra so they can keep her company, I've always heard 3 pairs is the magic number. The new ones are some exciting colors and as usual I am confused. https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Zebras/IMG_1954.JPG?_subject_uid=189922611&w=AABiFEC17hbN7LQJ33fxJ9oRnSYSJ1QEdD_kZYBaC_YaLQ My Guesses are from left to right : Grey Hen "Blue" Penguin Hen "Penguin" Grey Cock "Brownie" Black Faced Black Cheeked Cock "Black" White Hen "Ice" Cream Cheeked Cock "Snow" Also, I've been questioning the gender of the all white bird "Ice". Thank you. -Kareem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KareemSerry 16 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 Nice Names. I tried getting there names to fit their characteristics Black - the BlackFace BlackCheek, Snow - The CreamCheeked, Ice - The White, Penguin, The Penguin were fairly simple Its Blue And Brownie that were difficult. Blue lost her mate and that is were the name came from, Brownie refers to the chocolate brownie desert because he looks like a fat 9 year old. Would you check my other post regarding Snow? http://zebrafinchforum.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/6331-stunning-cock/ Thanks, -Kareem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KareemSerry 16 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 If I am correct, Titch is the one who had shared a cage with a budgie? How are they doing now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahR 70 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 good names! also i have just commented on the other post i tried to make little sequence with the names i go off the personality with my budgies to name them, leave the finches to my dad (saying that i currently have 2 in my room, along with 3 budgies haha) and yes, he is doing brilliant now, bubbles my budgie is lonely still but he will perk up when i get him a lovely hen. heres a picture of titch recently(one next to the window): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KareemSerry 16 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 So I wondering, since you're the only one bubbles has been interacting with. Why not tame him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahR 70 Report post Posted July 21, 2014 he used to be, but i have another 2 budgies in my room and recently he just tries to bite me every time i try to go near him, he is still only young so when the 2 other budgies in my room go into breeding cages i will try again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
