[edit] Photo - How Do I Add One, and Should I?

I have a photo I took that has both a male and a female in it (a mating pair that we own; no cage bars in the picture though, because we keep them in an outdoor aviary). I was thinking of adding it to the section on breeding. Would anyone object? If not, then how do I add a photo? --Runa27 02:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I object. You should put the picture in the main section that talks about zebra finches —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.201.211.234 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Misc.

finches are very fragile birds they can easily die of a heart attack if you hold them with warm hands.They need plenty of flying room and they need fresh food and water.they mostly fly about in flocks and lay 6 -12 eggs in the warm season and they should hatch between 10-12 days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.84.122.132 (talk • contribs).

Actually Zebra finches are very hardy birds. 69.232.46.20 00:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zebra lifespan?

Does anyone know the lifespan of a domesticated Zebra finch? I am curious because I have had five or six of these finches, and they seem to have a rather hearty lifespan for such a small bird: 9-13 years in my experience. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.59.155.91 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Picture caption

I think the caption on the picture is misleading, as those are two males. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.232.38.116 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Article sounds like a How-To

Encyclopedia articles do hold information, but they don't sound like a guide, a how-to, or a FAQ. Article needs some major improvements on the tone. Abby724 02:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
