Aussie Finch Forum

Hi my birthday is coming up and i am thinking of getting more finches what finches are compatible? thank you for your time

I only have Gouldian Finches. Other Members of the forum will no doubt be able to help you. There are a few topics throughout the forums on this subject of finch combatibility. I am relatively new, i just cant locate them for you at the moment....

ok thanks

what sorts of finches do you have already?
some nice ones are longtails, cordons, parrot finches, jacarinis, all from beginner to medium ease of keeping.
Parsons, painteds, plumheads, cubans, etc. also.

zebras 14

That many zebbies in one aviary may be a bit overwhelming for most other finches , about the only ones voracious enough to deal with 14 zebs would be goldfinches even then I cant see it being a pleasant experience .
Sorry but if you want other types of finches I would be looking at a new aviary , leave the zebbies with their own .
Zebs are a in your face type of finch , they take over their surroundings and leave little room for anything else.

Yes, jusdeb is right.

Also, for some of the finches I mentioned (in particular cordons, parrot finches, longtails) need an aviary at least 1m square to be happy.
Zebs are a bit aggressive, but when housed in small numbers are no problems with other finches. Big numbers though, will prevent any other birds from breeding, and may also end up in the death of a few birds.

I have always kept zebs (that is, when I have finches)
1 pair per cage/aviary for me, good results, no bullying.

Bengalese can handle Zebs. It would however depend on the size of your avairy, as both breed rather well.

2 birds you can definatly have in with your zebras are bengalese and java sparrows. all 3 can handle one another.
