If you are in Australia is approaching one of the few water points in the Outback, then you meet in many places on the Australian zebra finches. The zebra finch is an exotic bird, which is held here with us by many people. When keeping zebra finches, of course, some basic rules to be observed, for instance, should the dwelling be as large as possible so that the zebra finch can train his muscles. Especially for a steppe dwellers, who knows in the wild almost no limits, this is an important and essential requirement. As these birds are very social animals, often live in flocks, it rarely runs more than buy a copy. However, this decision is again the aspect of the place in the foreground. As with any animal must also be a lot of time invested in the care. In stores there are a wide selection of food for exotics, but also against a serving of fresh green fodder, the birds rarely anything to say.
In the breeding of zebra finches have been relatively few problems. In their natural habitat in Australia, the animals have a very limited food supply and they shall be fruitful, as it improves the situation. In the care of the people them a stable food supply is available, so they are always hatch-ability. The increase is thus not a problem and under some circumstances is inevitably a degree of control. After just two weeks after the young birds laying eggs can hatch and after six months, these fully sexually mature. Local breeds are now the only way to approach to this kind since 1960 Australia has imposed an export ban. For this reason, it is also not to genetic mixing between wild birds and live in their breeding con-specifics.
