Male zebra harrassing female

[shayne]

Hi,

I have two male zebra finches and I've just introduced a female. One of the males is harassing the female. Will this stop after a while or is it basically they don't get on and one will have to move?

cheers

He's harassing her to mate. Not a good idea having 2 males with one female, as they will both try to mate with her, and may injure her or each other while competing for her.

Thanks Niki_K,

That occurred to me later. I've been watching them a fair bit this afternoon. The male is protecting the nest but, not the food.
Guess I have a male to give away.

Thanks for replying.
