They should breed all year round given reasonable conditions.

like desertbirds said , given the right condition they will breed all year round. unlike most other finches that take 9 to 12 months to be mature enough to breed , the good old zebbie can be ready at the age of three months , good diet plenty of greens over winter especially ..pete

G'day,

Mine will breed all year in an outside aviary. Main issue I have had is the small fledglings leaving the nest when the more mature ones do. I find I need to put them back in the nest box or they freeze overnight as they sometimes aren't the best of flyers. In fact my main pair have just started their third nest of the year so they will hatch in the middle of Canberra's winter. Good luck,

MJ
