I went to replenish their water and when I came back they were cuddling and blocking the water dish holder like this 😭♥️

Tutu is clumsy.

But he's clumsy in my hand and that's what counts :]

We May Finally Understand Why Birds Burst Into Song at Dawn
Dawn is beckoned by choruses of birds all around the world, but we still don't understand why our avian neighbours insist on such a morning ruckus.

🌏 Australian Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia castanotis) The Australian Zebra Finch, also known as the Chestnut-eared Finch, is a small bird native to Central Australia. Males are more colourful, featuring orange cheek patches, black-striped chins, and spotted chestnut flanks; females are plain gray. They are widely distributed across the drier, central 75% of mainland Australia. These highly social, diurnal birds live in large flocks, mate for life, and breed in loose colonies, often following rainfall. Males are known for their complex songs. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Fun fact: Unlike most birds that scoop water and then tilt their heads back to let gravity help them swallow, the Zebra Finch uses a unique technique: they can sip and swallow water directly and continuously, allowing them to hydrate quickly.

This paper shows that “heat calls” that were claimed bea series of peeviois studies to be evolved signals given by incubating female zebrafinches to program their offspring to cope with heat, are merely sounds emerging as side effects of panting and are too soft in amplitude to be audible.

@laurenguillette.bsky.social presents string pulling, nest building, and sex specific cognitive differences in learning in Zebrafinches! I knew only about bumblebees pulling strings, but this is insanely cool too!

Having a sleepy Sunday but at least my boys have plenty of energy (taken the other day). They are frequently heard in the girls' videos. The larger one is Kaito, the smaller younger one is Yoshino/Pipsqueak. #zebrafinches

📷: Photo by TaniaVdB via Pixabay Australian zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis) The Australian zebra finch or Chestnut-eared finch (Taeniopygia castanotis) is a small bird native to Australia. It is known for its distinctive black-and-white striped plumage, resembling a zebra, hence its name. The males [pictured] have bright orange beaks and chestnut-colored cheek patches, while the females have a duller appearance. Zebra finches are highly social and often form small flocks. In the wild, they feed on seeds, grasses, and insects, and they build intricate nests using grass and feathers. Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Distribution: The greater part of mainland Australia. Class: Aves (Birds) Order: Passeriformes (Perching birds) Family: Estrildidae (Estrildid finches) Genus: Taeniopygia (Zebra finches) Species: T. castanotis CC: BVNQ

Started my evolutionary physiology project on #zebrafinches last week, and just completed the catching and handling course. Excited for the coming weeks!
