is anyone able to tell me if Bicheno and Society finches can cross breed

never heard of the bichenos crossing with societies but heard of zebras crossing with bichenos.but would not recomend trying to crossbreed with societies and bichenos

I've seen pictures. But I definitely wouldn't advocate it.

No No No!!! I dont want to do it. One of my mates wants to house them together and wont if there is any chance they could cross breed. I didnt think it was possible but just wanted to check with the experts

I had it happen once, have also had them cross with Plumheads, but both only ever did it once, & were spare birds not removed from the breeding aviaries. If you have them paired there shouldn't be any trouble.

Did see a picture once if the cross bred young, I don't think they will if kept in pairs but if there's any spare always a chance. I think your mate will be fine with them together if equal male and females of each speices are in the aviery.
