Do finches and hummingbirds get along?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We have 3 different types of finches and they all share the same cage. We have a Spice Finch, A Golden Finch, and two Zebra Finches. They had a slight adjustment period where they would chase each other around in the cage but it didn't take long for them to become buddies. They will groom each other and sit close to each other on their perches. The Golden has a very pretty song which he shares every morning right before dawn. One of the Zebras is very noisy. It is very hard to call it a 'song'. Ha ha! He is a character. We named him Toot because that is how he sounds. You can also get more info from the internet and from breeders and/or pet stores about finches.
