It depends on the size of the cage. Ask your veterinarian, a local pet store, or the cage manufacturer what number they recommend for your size cage.
WORLDWIDE,OVER 400 SPECIES.
O Zebra finches are social birds and should never be kept alone unless they are being quarantined for an illness or a new aquire...
Yes! Certainly you can. First I was afraid to put a pair of finches in a cage of 6 lovebirds who had their 5 babies in nest box.But when I put finches inside the cage, the two species never cared about each other.I had heard that lovebirds are very aggressive during their breeding time but they never came close to finches. Make sure that cage is big enough, mine is 3 by 3.Happy mingling!. Two species in one cage look very attractive.
Yes thst is a big enough cage.

you can keep them wherever you want. however i would recomend a cage, and if you like to sleep in, finches in your bedroom might not be a good idea
About 3 to 6
Try cleaning the cage once in a while.
I am not sure. My finches used to protect their eggs, not crack them. The other birds in the cage must have cracked them. If not, maybe they needed nutrients.
no because i have got some at home and i have had them for years
yes. it is possible. simply pick up the male, put him in female cage, close the latch, and let the romance begin
Sorry, this is almost impossible. The only way to keep them from breeding is to keep them in a separate cage. or you could take away the nest and the material
Yes. Finches benefit from oranges as well as other fresh fruits but be careful not to give them too much and don't let the fruit sit in the cage more than one day or it will spoil.
