#zebra finch

Birds :

Their names are Archer (black checks) and winter (orange checks) and I already love them 🥰🥰🥰

Someone is already very entertained tho XD

Having a dad around can be pretty important- and not just for the bad jokes and games of catch. Studies have shown that male zebra finches raised by only by their mother choose to pair with other members of their own sex far more often than males raised by both parents. This is likely due to a gap in their early education; males have to learn specific courtship songs from their fathers, so when it comes time to mate, they aren't able to woo females as well as their peers raised by both parents. So instead, they form bonds with other males-- especially those who were also raised without a father.
