I have my male parrot finch in with my green singer, owl and zebra finches. And have had him in with my orange-cheeked waxbill, and he was fine with all of them. The only finches I've have a problem keeping Barry (PF) with is my chestnut self society finches (Arthur/Wooley), and that wasn't really because he was aggressive, it was more because he was just soooo in love with them!

Funny though, he doesn't really go for my pied society finch.

Beautiful birds!!! I definitely want some parrot finches in the future, but I have to get my owls first. :D

All of my finches started off chasing each other (especially from food) and what not, but once they got acclimated over a few days it stopped.

Again, the birds look great! Congrats.
