Most domesticated zebra finches are timid and fly away from humans who approach them. They CAN bite, though. It has known to be quite painful according to the sharp beak. I have zebra finches and none of them have bitten me before.

O Zebra finches are social birds and should never be kept alone unless they are being quarantined for an illness or a new aquire...
No i wouldn't suggest it the budgie will kill the canary
You can keep your zebra finch together with other birds as long as they aren't too much bigger than them. Anything far larger than them will bully them and attack them. They seem to be okay with other pet finch species and canaries. I wouldn't keep them with budgies though. They will get aggressive towards your finch.
Charles Darwin discover the finches in Galapagos in 1831. He noticed that the finches beaks were different compared to the finch's in Ecuador.
All known species of Darwin's Finches are found on the Galápagos islands. With the exception of one, the Cocos Finch, which is found on the Cocos Island. Darwin's finches are not actually true finches. Darwin knew they weren't finches, but an ornithologist called Percy Lowe, later in 1936 incorrectly called them "Darwin's Finches" in a book, a term which unfortunately stuck.
