Ok. So, I registered two male zebra finches for the Pet Store plot. They're "companions," but not mates - basically, they have a very close pair bond from living together in captivity, but it's platonic. I have this wonderfully awful idea of how fun it would be for a female finch liberated at the same time to meet up with one of them and form a mate bond, leading to a hilarious 3rd wheel situation where the female is exasperated about the constant presence of the other male, the unmated male is jealous of the female, the mated male is torn between trying to woo and reproduce with the female and spend time with his companion, etc. That's about as far as I've thought it out but I think it feels like a fun example of how we tend to make captive animals kindof socially defunct. Plus, zebra tail finches are adorable and come in lots of sexy color morphs. So... ::tempts::
