Society finches

If a zebra pair abandons there nest will society finches take care of them? like even if they didnt have eggs of there own will they still sit on them.

Unless you have proven fosters, it is not guaranteed that they will sit on eggs from other birds. Societies have a great reputation as fosters, and they deserve it, but sometimes you get Societies that just don't want to do the fostering bit. If you have Societies already, you can try it, but I wouldn't go out and buy them just to foster Zebras. To be blunt, the Zebras will eventually catch on to what they are supposed to do, and then your problem will be to stop them breeding. :lol:
