Post: So sad

Posted by Kitty.J on 11/09/05

Well last wensday my favorite female zebra finch died. I
put her and her mate in a cage because she was moving too
slow. And i found her in the water dish when i woke up in
the morning. The water was only 1 inch high, so i believe
she died in her sleep. Well its been a week from last
wensday and well i put Max the male zebra finch in with my
tame birds, so he doesn't get picked on or lonely. Well i
always handfeed my birds, put food in my hand and inside
the cage, well yesterday Max fle wover to my hand and
started to eat some egg from my hand, i actually felt his
beak against my hand and when i moved my hand around to my
other birds so they can eat he followed. I guess his wild
side is gone or he just loved those eggs. So i also tried
it with seeds, and my veggies and fruits i feed them every
day, and guess what, he was at my hand eavh time, though
he was alittle warry to eat the fruit in my hand, he did
eat. Don't worry i do not plan to have him as my tame pet,
if he is that. I believe he just believe my hand wont hurt
my best tame birdie friends and it wont hurt him. Also i
am breding my oldest pair of zebras who are strong
breeders and well i will let Max choose his mate, they may
be ready near Christmas and hopefully there is more than
one female to choose form. Kinda sad to see a zebra finch
that was very wild when i was even near the cage to become
tame enough to eat out of my hand. I feel like one of
those lil old ladies feeding wild pigeons.
