Hooded Siskin and Zebra finch

Post by LokoChoko » Sun Jul 28, 2019 12:59 pm

I have a hooded siskin hen and a male zebra, my hen has been starting yo make a nest and I was wondering if it would be ok to let them breed or if the pairing is even compatible?

They are not compatible and belong to different genera and different taxonomic families. They're finches only in name, but are not actually related much at all.
