zebrafinches

hello, i am sorry i didnt add any more last night but but i wasnt home all day.
so here is a little of the info i picked up yesterday.zebra finches can be used to foster other species.the closely related the more likely survival.example ,owl finch hatchlings are simular in appearance to zebra finches.the only way to distinguish the 2 are with mouth markings.need to go more later.

plants

there a lot of house hold plants that are safe for your birds. and a lot of plants that are toxic to zebra finches. if not sure about a plant don't use it,always use caution in choosing plants get a list . there are a lot of excellent sources on the web for lists of plants that you can and cannot use for your birds. i found that african violets are one that you can use.and i love those.there are a lot of ferns also.check them out first.better safe then sorry.
