I would really hate for there to be aggression between the two of them, I know this may be the case with two male zebras, but I am not sure if the same applies to two males of a different species. Will Atticus and Boo make good companions for one another? I have been reading that society finches can live pretty comfortably with zebras, but I am wondering if it makes a difference if its only the two of them, being that they are both males. So now comes my question for all you experienced finch owners on here: Andrew and I have had some really pleasant exchanges through email, and I would really love to give little Atticus a forever home, and for he and Boo to become companions. Once I saw the name, I immediately felt like it was kismet that I found the listing Boo Radley & Atticus Finch, seems meant to be. I finally came across a listing online posted by about his hand-raised society finch, Atticus Finch. So, I began my search for a companion for Boo earlier this passed week, looking everywhere online that I could adoption sites, breeder sites, and I have asked local pet stores. He's very energetic and chatty, but I can definitely tell that he is lonely. He has not had a companion since his brothers died and he has never had a mate. He's a sweetie, but is not tamed and was not hand raised, so he is pretty afraid of people. My friend guessed Boo to be about 4 years old. He had 5 brothers, all of which unfortunately did not live long, and his parents passed as well. Boo was born to two zebra finches that had been given to my friend originally by someone else. I drove 2 hours away to pick him up, and now he's been with me for a little over a week. I have always admired finches, but have never had them in my care before, so I made sure to do plenty of research about them before I told her I would take him. She was about to move across the country in a matter of days and had desperately been trying to rehome him with no luck when she remembered my history and connection with birds. A friend of mine messaged me recently about her Zebra Finch. I have a fair amount of experience with birds, having raised a couple of wild birds and also rehabbing several abused/neglected parakeets. I am new here, and I was guided here by to seek out some advice regarding his society finch, Atticus, and my zebra finch, Boo.
