Thanks again for your reply
I've decided to keep him now and find him some finchy friends
after giving it a good long thought, I just can't face giving him away so he will be staying with me! Thankyou for the offer but i'm in Lancashire so it's a little too far to travel unfortunately
very kind of you though
I went to the local pet shop today to look for a couple of new zebras (I dont know of any breeders in my area so i'm having to resort to pet shop bought birds unfortunately) but quite a few of them seemed very hunched up and one spent most of its time huddled up on the floor of the cage, so I decided against any of them as I don't want to bring an unhealthy bird into the house
gonna try a few more places tomorrow so hopefully I will have a bit more luck
