The minimum cage dimensions for a pair are around {{convert|70|x|40|x|50|cm|in|abbr=on}}, with enough horizontal space for flight. The metal bars of the cage should be placed no more than ~{{Convert|1|cm|in}} apart.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Zebra finch care {{!}} Animal Humane Society |url=https://www.animalhumanesociety.org/resource/zebra-finch-care |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=www.animalhumanesociety.org |language=en}}</ref> An external aviary should have an indoor space for shelter, where the birds can sleep, rest and hide from bad weather. Because of their social nature they shouldn't be kept alone and should at least be kept in pairs to have company. In addition to providing access to clean, fresh [[drinking water]], zebra finches should have access to a shallow water [[Bird bath|dish]] for bathing.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":2" />
