I finally found another, larger cage for my newest family. We put the new cage up to old, smaller one so they could hop through the open doors. It was so cute!...

Hardware cloth is metal mesh with holes ranging from .5" to 1". It is like a metal screen but is very rigid. You can find it at any home improvement store...
Good idea Sarah, i hadn't tried bananas, bet they would go for that. My flock aren't very interested in apple either, but i just keep offering anyhow in hopes ...

Hi Sarah, this i can tell You. With zebras, You have to have at least three pairs when keeping them together. two pairs will fight. Any unpaired birds cannot ...
Thank you steve, i appreciate that. I will try again with them. Since they are all females, do you think it is a bad idea or a good idea to have 1 or 2 males...

I can guarentee You have at least one male in the bunch. Without a male the females will lay only infertile eggs. You can keep a pair in it's own cage, or You...
Okay, so pairs are male and female. So...2 males for the girls, or 3, for whatever Air is. And as for the "baby-throwing", they aren't housed with anyone else....
Well, I did just what you suggested. Air and Wind are in one cage together and doing fine. Water is in another cage with the new male I just bought today...I ...
