Soundbite for Zebra Finches

Hi Guys, I am after a soundbite/soundfile for zebra finches.

I have tried recording my own zebras but I cannot get the volume loud enough.

I am doing a presentation on finches for a training course and I would like to have the wonderful sound of the finches in the background.

I have searched the web but have not found what I am looking for. They all seem to be single finches so there is a lot of silence.

What I am after is a few finches singing simultaneously for about 1 minute - I can just play that in a loop.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kim

you need to find someone with an aviary full of zebras so that you can record what your after

Don't know how you tried to record your own Zebs, but did you think of putting say 6 or 7 in a small cage with the tape recorder right next to them?
