There is an old saying you should be careful what you wish for...These wonderful Zebra finches are tropical birds aren't they lovely. I took these shots in Butterfly world. I guess you could consider this artificial environment conducive to a nice home for them. It was definitely hot in there and they all were jumping and beeping around happy as can be. These little birds can also be purchased again from our lovely pet stores....they are lovely birds. Also these finches know no other life..they are born in artificial environments so their happiness is what they know. But when I know that in the wild natural world, I'm sure they are truly happy to be free to fly for miles. I don't condone what we do...zoos, artificial environments, aviaries, Aquariums all have a place for nature. Conservatories actually provide a safe place for animals that are on the brick of extinction and allows us the ability to study animals more closely to see if we can rectify the problems and to facilitate bring the species back. Sometimes we succeed others not so much. I guess my point in this post is that as much as I hate human intrusions into nature and the fact that most of the species that have become endangered has come from our own doing....There are alot of us that are trying to make a difference in helping solve the problems that we have created. To those of us I say Thank you...
