GREEN SINGING FINCHES

I have been looking at these Green Singing Finches sitting in Pet Smart for what seems forever. Now they are on sale. My question is this I have societies, two canaries and two St. helenas is a cage together. It is a very large cage. Could I put two of the singers in with them? I know they are supposed to be pushy but? What does anyone on here think as I know all birds are different.
thanks
Jeanne

You say the cage is "very large" - how big is it? I have Green Singers in with other finches with no problems at all but when I want them to breed I remove them to a separate breeding cage. It will all depend on the individual birds, the size of the cage and whether you will be breeding them in there.

No,
I wont be breeding and the cage is big enough for at least 15 finches.

Then they 'should' be fine. Let us know when you get them!

first ... the canaries are they both males / females ? cos canaries and green singers do fight and do x-breed !!

cage size .... you say good for 15 finches but that doesn't say anything to me ... i can show you pictures with 15 birds in a cage .... size shoe box and the owner still saying its big enough !!

The canaries are both females.

You definitely don't want to put Green Singers in with canaries--they are both Serinus species and can definitely crossbreed. And take it from me, you don't want a hybrid cross between a canary and a Green Singer. Someone sold me one long time ago as a Green Singer, and he got the best of the cross in looks and song, and the worst of the cross in temperament--he killed everything I put in the same cage with him! He spent the rest of his years as a hermit, alone in a cage, though he was near other cages--that is the best I could do for him for companionship.

Well,
If that is the case I don't want to take a chance. I guess if I decide to get them I will put them in a separate cage. thanks for all the input I have read about them but always wonder what others have experienced and yours Sally was a bad one. I don't want to go through that.
