In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Dill has a less solid family structure than Jem and Scout, despite being from a two parent household. His parents don't take his rearing at anywhere near the serious level Atticus takes his parental responsibility. He spends time during the summer with his aunt, who is a neighbor to the Finches.

What other type of finches can zebra finches live with?

You can keep your zebra finch together with other birds as long as they aren't too much bigger than them. Anything far larger than them will bully them and attack them. They seem to be okay with other pet finch species and canaries. I wouldn't keep them with budgies though. They will get aggressive towards your finch.

Should you remove cowbird egg from finch nest?

The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.

In reference to dill what pessimistic note does Dolphus Raymond cast?

Dolphus Raymond understands that Dill is crying because Mr. Gilmer is being so condescending to Tom. While Dolphus does all he can to comfort Dill, he tells Dill that he (Dill) had better get used to it, because this is the way that whites treat blacks (and white who chose to associate with blacks). Dolphus doesn't have the optimistic outlook that Atticus and Miss Maudie seem to possess--that life and society can get better if people just learn that blacks are humans with feelings and rights just like whites.
