The females may want to establish nests; for two pairs (2 males and 2 females) you should provide three nests so they don't have to fight. Also, the males will try to mate with both females if they can, this can also cause fighting.

One time one of my females had eggs and the other didn't. The one that didn't have her own eggs wanted to sit on the eggs belonging to the first one. That caused fighting, but it was OK for the other male to sit on the eggs!

If the cage is too small for so many birds you should separate them.

Can you teach your zebra finch to talk?

Zebra Finches can't talk, but one of my Pied Zebra Finches make a call that imitates the sound of an alarm. My Zebra Finches do answer me, though. When I walk in the door and say "Hi" to them, they chirp back. Zebra Finches can make beautiful calls, so without tricks, these cute little birds put on a show...with their singing!
