If you cant sell them.You could get between $5 and 50c each. Give them away to a pet shop or put a add in the paper.

Having frequently had similar problems with my Zebs I have found that removing all the nesting sites or putting them into a different aviary with no nests helps. :D

sheesh imagine how many you will have by the next breeding season ....so not funny Id be doing something drastic like getting the boys and girls separated or removing nests anything to stop the population explosion....
Just got rid of all mine bar 1 on the weekend $5.00 each and thats all the pet shop is asking at the moment too. Good luck
