This male Zebra Finch was very happy to sit on the nest.

As kids, we bred Zebra Finches, and they seemed to share the brooding duties as I recall. Nice photo thanks M-L.

It was rather large, I was surprised by that. It also looked very ruff. But I have never seen their nest before. Maybe Dale can tell us??

No cant help, the nests we used were commercially bought, wicker with a small hole, top front, totally covered in, but they are breeding machines, often having a new brood as soon as the last ones left the nest.
