FINCHforum

After much thinking, I decided that at least my female zeb needs a new home. I cannot take her plucking him and biting me anymore. But, would my male accept a new bird, or should I ditch 'em both and get societies (I will eventually be adding in more birds, probably societies and maybe a java pair). I would love to keep the hen, but I just cannot take much more of her sassiness. She is always bickering with him, while he never touches her. Also, how long is the very longest I should leave little Mr. With just a mirror? I hope to replace her soon, but it could be a little while as I want all his feathers back and he needs his new buddy quarantined.

Can you place them with a divider between them, so that they can see each other and interact but she can't pluck him?

sparrowsong98 think he would pair quickly one of my zeb males died and the next week she had a pair and these never fought also I if you are getting society’s you should get more society’s than zebras as elena told me and she’s right as I’ve started to notice the zebras taking control since there’s more of them than society’s

lovezebs I really want to get more birds in the future, and my parents have a rule about cages. One cage. Only one. If it is divided (I wanted budgies so I lobbied for that approach) It is two cages. For those reasons She really had better find a new home.
Elana, I expected you to visit this thread, trying to convince be to keep my girl, especially with a username like yours.

I never convince, lol, I just offer options .

Did your parents stipulate the size of the cage?

hahaha the lonely society which i keep with the zebbies males believe me is making the law in the flight . do not ask what he do when he's near to zebra hen . i love him little poor one he learn to whistle like African fire finch, i must found him a very nice ginger hen

haroun I have a society that is the boss of all my other finches including the zebras defiantly the most dominant and doesn’t mind having a squabble with a few every once in a while

My girl is out to get hubby's life insurance policy by hook or by crook the nasty thing.

So finch pairs are just incompatible. How long did you say you had had them together? You could get both of them new mates.

A bit off topic, but I have some little chicken pullets who are 9 weeks old and those suckers rule the roost, and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.

Sorry I mean "some " finch pairs not "so " finch pairs

sparrowsong98 haha just realised how off topic that comment was and I’m not going to lie but like u said about your nine week old ones bet these are your favourite, they always have more of a chracter
