Guess what? It appears that my Zebra's have 3 eggs :D. I noticed because like before they were taking turns coming in and out of the nest so I had to check and of course there they were. So I should be expecting babies soon. I will keep you guys updated :)

These are my birds, I have yet to name them but I will soon.

UPDATE:

Well these are not the best shots in the world and I do not want to disturb my birds further so this is the best I can do for now.

I noticed that one egg is pink and there are still 3 eggs since I've checked last. So I am hoping I get a 3 chick clutch. :mrgreen:

I'm not trying to disturb them so I won't be looking at the babies when they are first born I will check the nest again in about 1 1/2 or 2 weeks. Last time I really bothered my first pair and they tossed 2/4 babies they had out of what I think was just being frustrated so I am taking a different approach this time and I have covered the top half of the cage so I wouldn't be tempted to take an unneeded peek :mrgreen:. They are great parents though because as soon as I looked at the eggs and put the cage back they went straight back to incubating.

The 2/4 babies from my original pairs clutch fledged and it was so amazing. I love how they peek their heads out in curiosity and they take their first jump out of the nest. It is a really fulfilling moment. I'm really hoping I have a strong and healthy clutch! Like I said I will keep everybody updated. :D

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. :mrgreen: :D :mrgreen: :D ;)
