Maria when I got the birds, I bought a book on them, and thats what it says, that they pick a mate for life, Yesterday it looked to me like the two females were wanting the same male, so I'll just have to watch them, I can't have the females fighting, I may have to replace he male that is not accepted. |

Barbi I will have to get back with you on that, I don't know for sure, I skimmed through the book, but I haven't actually found out how long they live, I haven't had the time, Curtis is a handful ! After the holidays I will have more time to read, (I hope)  |

Zebra Finches usually live to be 3 to 4 years old, but with good care can easily live to 8 years.

Good choices Rosemary, I have already named the two females, Tiki and Tearra, but guess what !! Already there are two little eggs in one of the nesting baskets, so I am thinking one of the females was preggy when I bought her  , I don't know yet if the eggs are both fertile, I may have 2 more babies when I get back from the New Year, We are leaving early in the morning, my daughter will take care of Lucy, Midnight and the birds, we are going to board Curtis today at the vets , where I have been taking them for many years, I know they will take good care of Curtis.  but I hate to leave him    |
