Zebra Babies three weeks old

[foxxybrownn]

They have finally left the nest but they sit on the bottom of cage. I am afraid they will die ....do I put them back in nest or leave them alone???? They are huddled together in a corner. No danger of getting stuck as the cage has a solid bottom. Will mama still look after them and when will they start to look like zebras...they are all brown now????

THey will start to look like zebras in another week or so. This is when you'll be able to tell if they're boys or girls. The boys will start getting orange cheek patches.

You could try putting them back into the nest, but if they fly right back out then just leave them at the bottom of the cage. My aviaries are 6 feet tall, and the parents fly all the way down to care for the :)

Just curious... How are they doing now, I know this thread is a month old but I still am curious.. Do they look like their parents.. Have their beaks turned orange yet? I bet they are just adorable.
