Right now i have a M/F Zebra pair with a bamboo empty nest.
I want to add another zebra, or something else.
Can i add another Male with no problems, or another Female?
What would be better, 2 hens & 1 cock, Or 2 cocks & 1 hen?

Either could be a problem...why another one? A pair of societies would be more sensible.You may only give yourself problems adding one zebra to an established pair.

I am new to finches but learned that zebras just don't mix well with the other passive birds....I re-homed two pairs of zebras after starting my finch garden and am soooo!!!! glad i did!!!!!!!!!! Honestly take a look at the list the finch info venter has on passive mixes and stick to that or to the next level which has the zebras in the pushy category which imo was well presented just i was too stupid to learn until i bought two pair of zebra and they totally up rooted my aviary. so please...please becareful what you introduce! just from my own limited and i mean very limited experiences....

best of luck to you!

rkn (100% zebra-less and way happy about it)

I note you say one green singer...One bird that should not go in a mixed aviary unless it's VERY large is a pair of green singers ...they are very aggressive.
