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?

I dont like to mix birds on the same cage

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.

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.
