Aggressive male Zebra finch
Posted: 13 Dec 2022, 19:09
I have 2 male zebras, a normal and a fawn. Recently the fawn has been getting aggressive and chasing the other making what I assume angry squeaks. They got along fine the entire time I had them (they weren’t mine and don’t know how they were prior) I had 2 nests and they were building them together just fine, til the aggression started a few days ago, I removed both nests in case that’s what’s causing it but that didn’t work. I added another food bowl as well as branches of equal height at the very top and still nothing worked. So far the fighting only ever gets worse at night (7-8pm). They are housed in a large cage that’s 3ft long, 50cm wide and 4ft tall. I don’t know what to do, do I have to separate them or just wait and hope it’s just hormones from breeding season?
