Zebra finch mixing question

Post by n52nimbus » Mon Aug 20, 2018 4:14 pm

I inherited a male and female zebra finch and let them have and hatch one clutch of five eggs.

Now the original mating pair are in their own flight cage and the fledglings ( almost 4 months old now ) are in another. The fledglings are 4 males and one female.

I am having trouble finding good homes for the newbies, and am considering the following. . .would like to get input.

Obviously the female fledgling amongst the males has to go before sexual maturation. I am considering transfering the dad in with the other male fledglings and the female fledgling in with mom.

My concern is I don't know how bonded zebra finches become to their mates.

Would doing this be cruel?

Thanks for the feedback.
