What finches get along with a zebra finch?

Answer 1

Of course! But it has to be a female/male pair. Or else no birds.

yes! They breed incredibly easy and are a bit of a nuisance if you have them in with other birds. Gimme a shoeboz with nespaper and you will have babies in a month or two.

Sexing them is easy.The males have a distinct orange cheek wereas the females have a black 'teardrop' under there eye

A: Both males and females have the 'running mascara' teardrop marking on the face and depending on the mutation some don't have any markings at all. A way to tell a sex of a zebra finch with no markings (a white mutation) is the males have a redder beak then the females who have orange. This is a common trait throughout all color mutations of zebra finches. Males will have red beaks and females orange. As baby's its hard to tell when they are young, but they mature to full sexual maturity in 2 - 3 months so you wont have to wait long.

Zebra finch can lay 8 - 10 eggs in a clutch so be warned if your considering placing a male and female together as you may wind up having 8 - 10 extra beaks to feed. lol

yes offcourse they can mate.if they didnt there wouldn't be any left.

if you plan to breed them you will need a male and a female.males have orange cheek patches and darker redder beaks while the female lacks those colours,it has a orange beak brighter than a males.you will also need a nest and some nesting material.i use hay and dried grass as nesting material but you can use alot more like the ones at a pet shop and they can also use what hampsters use like timothy hay or alfalfa.now that they should be a true pair you will have to wait if they like each other.like us we have different personalities so not all finches like each other.when they both are a bonded pair you may see them mate a few times.when they have after a few days they should start building a nest when its been a week the female shoud be laying.they can have up to 3 to 8 eggs.:)hope i helped

No. The bullfinch is more closely related to larger finches like grosbeaks.
