Welcome to the forum!
If you aren't doing so already, provide the birds with calcium and eggfood. Calcium should be available at all times, in the form of cooked eggshells, cuttlebone, ground shells, mineral blocks, and/or calcium drops in the water. Eggs should be offered every day when the finches are breeding; boiled eggs are probably the best, though dry eggfood works without going bad. I use Quiko Classic Egg Food most of the time.

You can get lots of information about breeding and what to do at www.finchinfo.com. With Zebras, as long as you supply calcium and eggfood, as Icerstorm has suggested, they usually do pretty well themselves. They are usually good parents, and the biggest problem with Zebras is getting them to stop breeding, they are like rabbits.
