Answer by  Rolf (100)

Zebra Finches will not get along with Spice Finches; but they will get along with Society Finches. This is due to the fact that as their name implies, Society Finches recognize that they are a part of the Finch social milieu and treat all Finches as their equal.

zebra and society finches will do fine together.How ever the spice finches and zebra finches are dominating specie's of a hierarchy, society finches can get along most the time with other specie's of finches,Thus they are more community minded then the zebra and spice finches.

Actually to tell you the truth they do not get along. Spice finches as the name implies are actually very aggressive and therefore putting both parties of finches together is a big no.

Yes, there should be no problem in having them together, they should not be aggressive one towards the other as long as they have enough room and enough nesting boxes, if you are going to breed them.

Actually zebra finches are said to be very aggressive while the former is not. Therefore, you have to make sure you keep the zebra finches away from all other relatives.

Yes. In general the flock instinct in Finches is so strong they will accept any other kind of bird similar to their own size.
