Description
Ineresting facts about Male Zebra Finches - are loud and boisterous singers. Their call is a loud "beep", sounding something like a toy trumpet.Male zebra finches begin to sing at puberty. Their song begins as a few disjointed sounds, but as they experiment and grow it rapidly matures into a full-fledged song. During these formative times, they will incorporate sounds from their surroundings into their song, also using the song of their father and other nearby males for inspiration.Male finches use their song, in part, as a mating call. The mating act is usually accompanied by a high pitched whining sound. They will also exhibit a hissing sound when they are protecting their territory.
Females, as a rule, do not sing.

It is in a large screen cage. Where are few people could fit. I managed to put a large white cloth to avoid having the screen on the background .
