Im kittyj. I know my zebras and society finches thank you. I
would never let two diff. species breed with one another unless
the other is on the brink of extinction and it has no other
mate... If ya dont believe me chekc IPs... but whatever...

Ivan. Yes they may breed but dont let that happen. They'll be
sterile babies and you wont be able to sell them. A lot of times
when you cross species the babies will be borned formed and die.
And many other times The eggs will not hatch... I owuldn't
attempt to breed diff. species of birds unless you are an expert
breeder and know what your doing. Also if you are having
problems getting a female society finch just go to the pet store
and sit by the society finches cage for about an hour and in
that hour's time all the "real" males shoul've sung by now.
Thats what I had to do. And I got a chestnut pied society finch
for my white society finch. Goodluck
