Adding to Zebra finch cage...

Post by Barb » Sun Oct 05, 2014 9:54 pm

I have two male Zebras in a cage 30W x 18D x 36H. I am thinking of adding another type of finch with them and looking for ideas. Or should I leave well enough alone.

I also have a matching cage with six male Societies and everybody is getting along very well and healthy.

Please give me your suggestions, thanks... (')>

Leave them be, especially if they are getting along. Three is a crowd with most finches and especiallly with zebras. If you want more finches, start another cage with a new species. That is always fun and exciting!

~ I totally agree with Deborah. Zebras are funny that way, there's no saying how it will go. They might be fine with another two Zebras, or it might be all out WAR. Other species [-X . Uf they are more submissive, the Zebras will bully them to death. If they are tougher than Zebras, you will end up with blood shed.

Thank you DEBORAH & Elana for this information.
I have two female zebras in a 30" cage that are content with each other. I am going to leave it that way :)
