I always wanted a breeding pair of zebra finches (since I couldn't have real zebras). I've always loved how happy they sounded. So I bought a pair from PetsMart along with a small cage and a book on the care of Zebra Finches. Shortly after installing them in the new cage, I decided it wasn't big enough. So back to PetsMart . I bought a larger cage, a stand, and a coconut shelter. The bigger cage really did the trick and soon there were three eggs in the coconut. Chocolate

While I was living in my first purchased home, I purchased two blue parakeets and named them Pete and Repete. They were quite the characters and happily filled my home with their chirps and whistles. Pete never really became hand-trained, but Repete was a pro at it. So at least once a week, he had the privilege of being cage free for a few hours. When he was cage free, his favorite spot was my large front window. He would cling to the curtain and report to Pete everything
