A finch should not be housed alone, nor should it be housed with a parrot who might be able to injure it. Instead finches should be housed in pairs or more (space allowing) of the same or mixed, compatible species of finches; same-sex pairing in most cases is acceptable (they do not usually have to be male-female pairs). If you want to keep more than 2 birds in a cage, be aware that the dominant birds of many species (such as zebras) will often bicker and attack submissive cagemates. This is especially true of the more aggressive/territorial species, and birds which have entered a breeding cycle, season, or mentality. (In some cases, housing 6 or more birds together [in a cage that is large enough to do so] seems to lessen this aggression, perhaps because the birds tend to lose track of each other more easily and as a result lose their ability to single out any one bird as a victim.) The enclosure you place these birds into must be large enough to comfortably house the number of birds you ultimately purchase (you can calculate the number of birds your cage can fit), so use these factors in determining how many birds you can acquire.Orange Cheeked Waxbill If you are able to meet these basic requirements, you will only have one thing left to do before making your purchase: research the different species to select the one(s) that is(are) right for you!
