Welcome JJ.
You're clearly not the "Jesse James" - you sound nothing like an outlaw.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. The longer I own these little girls the more questions I have :eureka:

Here is an example - there clearly is a dominant bird and while the more reserved bird just loves nesting material, the other bird is just as determined to drown the stuff! Why does she do this?

Welcome :D
Zebs are famous for trying to nest in terrible places - food and water bowls in particular :lol: have you tried moving the water bowl around a bit?

OK never thought about the drowning of the nest material in the bath for that reason - thanks for that. Yes I have moved the bath around - just seems the dominant bird has to have the last say in things. I will start posting in the managing section - don't want to cause feathers to fly!

Welcome to the forum JesseJames, a couple of boys for your girls would be nice,they could show them how to build a nest.
