:OK THE FIRST THING THAT I WANT TO KNOW IS IF TWO FEMALE ZEBRAS CAN STAY TOGETHER IN THE SAME CAGE?
:THE SECOND THING I WANT TO KNOW IS WHEN THE ZEBRAS FEATHERS STAR TO COME OUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND IN THE SPOTS WHERE THE FETHERS HAVE CAME OUT THERE LITTLE WHITE THINGS PLEASE HELP ON WHAT I CAN DO

I will refer you to the finch boards for the answer to your first question. Just open the forums/boards main page and scroll down the list until you find finches.

The "HAVE CAME OUT THERE LITTLE WHITE THINGS " is called a sheath and it protects the feather until it is fully formed. With bigger birds, the owner often times helps the bird groom those off when the feather is fully formed. With Finches, I am not sure that you can do that. Often, in a flock situation, the birds will help each other with those sheathes during mutual preening.

I hope this helps and you continue to come to our boards. Welcome.
