Hi, I have recently acquired what I thought were 3 pairs of Zebra Finches but after a week I have come to realise I have 4 males and 2 females. Two sets have paired up but the left over 2 males are not getting on and one has had his feathers pecked so I put him in a cage on his own. I would like to know how long it will take for his feathers to grow back and will I be able to integrate him back into the aviary with a new female. The one remaining lone male I intend to get another female for him. If anyone can help, Thanks.

Thanks, I have decided to get a couple more females to balance out the pairs, and I will certainly swap things around to distract them from falling out. Good sound advice, cheers
