4 baby zebra finches 1 week old mum and dad just left nest not going back in what's the best option.

Not sure why you have no replies, probably too late now, but of course it would be worth a try putting them with the Gouldians, just keep an eye on them. Make sure you don't touch the young with your skin - I heard using 2 plastic spoons dipped in your seed will keep them scent free, and allow you to grasp the little wrigglers. Good luck!

Have heard of Zebs rearing Goulds but not the other way round...try and if no food in crop after 2 to 3 hrs you will have to intervene and try and hand raise...
