Z - Zebra Finch

Zebra Finches are natively found in Indonesia and are named Zebra Finches because of the zebra pattern on their crests. I have always wanted to have some as pets because I wanted to fight and race them, I think that was the reason I wasnt allowed them to be honest. I have wanted them because they can be legally kept as house birds and they arent as loud as parrots. I like the patterns they have on them they almost look hand painted they are so beautiful, they gain their colour when they reach adulthood as children they are fairly plain and mostly grey. My dad had them as pets when he was younger and said he enjoyed keeping them as pets, I think I inherited my interest in birds from my dad he has always been into birdwatching.
