you can but they may fight and seriously injure each other or one may be picked on by the other some more serious results of bullying are broken jaws and the bullied finch may pluck its feathers out ect. i would advise housing two females instead although they may not look as good they will get along better than two malezs
I have two male zebra finches that have been together for a long time and they are best friends. They occasionally fight, but they make up quickly and they have neever hurt each other.

∙ 14y ago"No. Zebra finches are in a more aggressive tier than a spice finch, and they should not be kept in a cage together."
That is someone else's answer. Mine is yes, because I have one of each and they get along just fine. The more aggressive of the two is actually the Spice, he beaks a bit. For the most part, however, they are a happy and sleep/bathe/eat together. It really depends on the individual bird's personality.
The Finch Niche website also says these two can be housed together.

You should never trust a large bird with a small bird, and never let them mix unsupervised.
Actually size has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not birds can be mixed together. It is simply the nature of the individual species, for instance the tiny Cuban Finch finch will kill a much larger canary because it has yellow on it. Likewise you could happily mix a much larger pigeon in with a Zebra finch with no problem, I hope this clarifies things.

Why are zebra finches called zebra finches?
I think they are called this because their tail is black and white... just a guess though! Good guess and you are close... If you look closely at the male on his upper chest is a zebra stripped pattern of black and grey...

Is it better to have two finches or one finch?
Finches like to have company, so I suggest having a male and a female together in the same cage. They are very cute together, they always snuggle with each other :) Put a nest in their cage and they will sleep there together at night. However, they will usually keep breeding continually. If you don't want to have cute fluffy baby finches, you can take our the eggs every time you see them and throw them away. But if you do want cute fluffy baby finches, they are very fun to watch grow up and there is nothing you need to do for them, just take them out when the parents start picking on them. You can put them in another cage, free them outside, or you can sell them at a near bye pet store. I have zebra finches, so this may varie depending on your breed of finch.

Can you put 2 male and 2 female parakeets together in one cage?
I have two males that have chosen to live together. They grew up together early. I have given them the 'option' to live apart - but birds of a feather... They've even chosen to live with 2 male zebra finches. The 2 canaries show aggression towards each other occasionally - but it's not a blood sport. I have the cage open all day - they fly in and out - but always 'go home' to sleep and eat. I think it's hard to paint all finches with the same brush. They're generally peaceful little birds.
Can you house 2 male Chinese hamsters together?
