can you house a orange weaver with a owl finch and two zebras????

If it is just one weaver and a big enough cage, I don't see why not. Although some birds seem more aggressive than others, so it may depend on the weavers personality.

But you would need to keep a close eye on them. The Owl finch is passive, so putting it in with 3 more aggressive birds could be putting it at risk. I've never had Orange Weavers, but they are listed in the FIC as aggressive. Zebras are listed as pushy, and your Owl is the quiet, passive one--a candidate for being picked on.

One weaver only usually isn't aggressive. At least mine wasn't.... you should get a female weaver as they tend to be less aggressive. I think you'd have the most success with that combo if they were all female in a big enough cage.
