Bengalese finch problem
I bought a Bengalese just a few days ago along with two zebra. Bengalese is very light colored and pretty beat up from the store. He/she is missing some feather on the head and by the tail. The zebra are very hyper and pushy but the Bengalese is opposite. He/she seems lethargic compared to the zebra but idk. Sits ontop of the nest most of the time. I have them together in same cage but the Bengalese doesnt like or care for the zebra very much. I have seen the Bengalese chasing them away & peaking at them sometimes but not much. Should I put the Bengalese in a different cage? Will he/she be okay alone?

Zebras are pushy, bossy. Your society has no one but him so he is like the odd man out. Put him in a separate cage and see if you can find a friend, another society for him. He is most likely tired of being picked on.

Sounds like he needs some time on his own to rest and recuperate, especially if he's looking a little beat up. I would put him in a cage on his own and then get another society for a companion. In general, societies love to snuggle up with a buddy and Zebras can be too pushy and rambunctious for them.

Re: Bengalese finch problem
I've moved Society into a different cage but I've been noticing that it seems like she/he doesnt like to fly/move around very much. Could there be something wrong? Seems to be eating and drinking fine. idk maybe I'm just being paranoid, I'm so used to hyper Zebras. I plan on buying a companion soon but I'm looking for a crest. Hopefully everything goes well.
