Thanks for your reply
I've found someone on bird trader who is selling a male and female pair of Owl Finches in my town
however, I don't want to breed from them as i'm still a bit new to keeping finches, i've only ever owned a pair of zebras before so I don't really want to start breeding other types.
If I was to take this pair of owls, would I be able (and would it be fair) to prevent them from breeding (i dont mean spaying or neutering LOL just maybe not providing them with a nest) and keep them as pets? Also, would they be okay with a pair of male zebra finches? Like, they wouldn't fight with the male owl or bother the female owl?
Some of these questions might sound daft but as I say, im new to keeping finches and i've never kept different types together before so i want to do some research and find out what's best before I go into buying any!
I live up in Lancashire so staffordshire is a bit too far for me as I don't drive!
