I'm just wondering if Society finches would be able to foster masked finches and star finches if either two of the species abandons their nest/eggs/chicks?

Its a last resort, only going to foster if they defiantly abandon their nest :)

If your thinking of putting the Bengalese in with the Stars, they probably will abandon.

Yes can be used as fosters I only use Societies for abandon nests

don't use Them for every nest of chicks try make the parents rear before you use Societies.
