As of this morning after a 25 year absence I have birds
I have a large cage that houses a pair of owls and a pair of zebras. I thought owls and zebras could co-habitat but apparently not. The girl zebra is being extremely aggessively toward the owls. Should I go out today and get another cage and separate them?
Thanks and just know that this is the first of many, many questions!

I would separate them.
You can't ask too many questions so ask away.

hi welcome
i would seperate them also,you may need a larger cage to house them all together zebras will not tolerate any other bird,especially if they may have built a nest anywhere
ken
you can always tell a yorkshireman,but you cant tell him much

Also, Zebras and Owls can crossbreed, which is very undesirable. Separate cages, it looks like. It is true what the FIC says about numbers in a cage--either 2 or 6+ works, anything inbetween (3 to 5) usually brings problems
3 Purple Grenadiers, 1 Goldbreast + 1 cat.
