The six newer society finches from the bird fair have just come out of quarantine (all quarantined in the same cage). :-) I know for sure that there is one male, and I suspect the other five are females. The male eventually decided he was The King of the Quarantine Cage, and started bossing his little harem around, chasing them, hissing at them, etc. He wouldn't settle down, so I just moved his little feathered fanny to a cage by himself for the time being. I'll see which of the girls he gets along best with (trial and error - sigh!), and will move a couple of them in with him. I know he particularly dislikes the sweet little fawn pied female with the two dots on her head.
He's singing up a storm in his own private suite! LOL! (He's not totally "alone". He can see and hear the other societies in nearby cages.)
Ahhhhh ... peace! ;-)
Moving him out temporarily will allow me to see if any of the other birds in the cage start singing (males). Sometimes shyer males won't sing in the presence of a more dominant male.
