Hello everyone! You may have noticed me on this site, since I have been combing through it for the last 6 months for information. This is my first post.
I live in Northern MN. I currently have 8 Zebra Finches. I have 6 in my large homemade flight and 2 in a smaller flight cage. I have had 2 (NG split to CFW male and a CFW female) for about 3 months. I just had the other 6 ( 2 FF's, 2 BC's and 2 Fawns) shipped in from WI almost 1 week ago.
So here is my issue, lol. I put my 2 BC's into the smaller flight after I seen that they where pretty aggressive towards the others. My Female BC does not like the BC male even after a week alone with him. In the larger flight the FF female is trying to steal the NG/CFW male from the CFW female. My Fawn male, well none of the females will give him the time of day and he is the youngest at less then 4 months old.
Any advice on what to do or just let "nature" take it course?
I don't really plan on breeding them since I have no outlet for the babies.
Thanks!

Re: Mate Selection
If you dont want to breed them,
then I think the best for you is to have "Males only".
Having males and females togehter is allways a problem,
they will allways fight with other pairs
and they want to nest and they will
try to nest in everything!
its normal that different colored birds try to
mate with each others,
they dont know any better.
