I don't have zebras but a goldfinch and I know that they are one of the pushy species. Not sure if it's ok to have 2 pushy species together or if they would fight...

Also consider that goldfinches are big, and that they need lots of flying room. Mine zips around the aviary like a dive bomber when he's in the mood... :-)

What size cage/aviary do you have?

(I assume we're talking European Goldfinch here. Right?)
Walk-in aviary with Waxbills (6 Cordon Bleu, 3 Orange Cheek, 3 Black-rumped, 1 Lavender, ), 1 European Goldfinch, 4 Gouldians, 2 Spice Finches, 6 Owl Finches, 4 Budgies and 2 male Button Quail.
I also have 2 parrotlets, 3 dogs, 1 snake and 3 freshwater fishtanks.
