One of the smartest people I've been so lucky to know, has created his on ecosystem. In a cage thats about 7ft long 5ft tall and holds a width of about 2 ft inside he is housing finches. Guy Borge (My best friend Addison's father) has built probably one of the coolest cages I've ever seen in his backyard. At the bottom of the cage there's about 4 quails. The bird house has a series of heat lamps to keep them warm at night, and normal lights so they can see before they go to sleep. A problem took place initially that after two birds would mate and create offspring, they had no idea how to take are of their babies. Guy explained to me that this was because they were domestic and bought in a pet store. Pet store born birds are breed in animal farms where it isn't necessary for the mother to raise there babies. Without being taught this directly they literally had to create their own instinct. After about 2 months in finally the Finches figured out how to take care of their young, and the younger generation was already showing that they had received the knowledge.
