Re: zebra finches
Zebra Finches aren't for houseproud people! They make a complete mess with seed and feathers going everywhere, they're very jumpy and active little birds and a loud noise or big movement can frighten them, so they flap all over the place and the mess just flies even further! However, they are very sweet and entertaining little birds and they make some fascinating noises, they are definately worth the mess
and yes - they are very social birds and need to be with at least one more. Mine used a nest and they would snuggle up together at night, it made my heart melt seeing them all tucked up in their little bed together
unfortunately one of mine died this morning, so i'd reccommend you get more than 2 because i'm now stuck with one lonely finch and may need to rehome him
