newbie question

As of this morning after a 25 year absence I have birds :D

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. :wink:

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

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
