You can but in my experience when I did that the gouldians didnt breed very well. Zebras can be very disruptive especially when they have a nest to defend.

The only time it has worked for me is when I had 3 pairs of Gouldians and 1 pair of Zebs to an avairy and young Zebs were removed to a holding avairy with no nests once fully coloured.

Exactly what the next door neighbour has done and the Goulds are easily out breeding the Zebs....finchbreeder wrote:The only time it has worked for me is when I had 3 pairs of Gouldians and 1 pair of Zebs to an avairy and young Zebs were removed to a holding avairy with no nests once fully coloured.
