I haven't had any experience with java sparrows or canaries myself, but I know how pushy zebra finches can get. They can be real bullies. I would imagine if you have a large aviary where they can all have their own space it would probably work, but I don't know for sure.

I wouldn’t worry too much, the Javas and canaries can look out for themselves, the Bengalese might be in a bit of trouble against the zebras, but give it as shot and watch for aggressive behavior.
