I have bred my zebra finches and have got about 6 babies from them and they r in a little aviary and i just let them breed in there and i have never moved the finches when they breed or want to breed is that good or bad?

Hi Shanny,
I,m in the same boat !!
To my way of thinking if they are breeding , they are happy ??
It is obvious that " Zeb's " are a beginners bird !!
All ya need is a bit of " New Blood " and away ya go !!!
Cheers Freddy.

As long as you are aware that male and females will not be bothered that they are related when they are ready to mate.
Inbreeding can bring out the best features, but be aware that it can also make bad features worse.
As Freddy Finchman says "new blood" is the answer. It might be a good idea to either swap birds with someone else or sell some and buy some "new blood"
