You are contradicting yourself, just like the articles!
What if I get a female owl?
What I mean was they arent too terribly aggressive. Zebra finches are known to be "compatible" with other species, but yet they are aggressive birds, but many would say they are very socialable with other species. I think so too, if you had a large enough flight cage, etc. They aer VERY friendly when they dont have anything/anywhere they assume is their territory or nest. Put a nest in their,etc, and they will defend it very well.
That is what I mean.
I think if you wanted to get an OWL finch, I'd get two, and make it a male/female pair. They'd do very well with your canary. However, I do not know how HE'D get along with them Canaries all have their own personality, and he will be the bigger of the finches(if a canary is considered a finch... lol).
We'll see. Honestly my first thought was a cool friend for Kismet to snuggle up next to, but not want to make babies with. It seems everyone has somebody in a way, except him. The big guys have me to stroke and play with them, and the creepers have each other, then there is Kismet out in left field..
