My Tri-coloured male has been singing his song and chasing around the female for the past week or two. Does this mean I'll be seeing them go to nest soon?

Also I heard chirping coming from my female zebras next this morning so I had a look in to find some babies in there. There is no male in the cage though. I took a pair of zebras out of the aviary over a month ago, I'm guessing they are from that male?

Are you 100% sure there is not a white or pied male Zeb in there? Who has his male markings covered with white feathers? And has therefore succeeded in coning you into leaving him with a hareem? Though if it was a month ago less incubation time it is just possible, someone had a fairwell harrah.
