Can brother and sister zebra finches mate?

Answer 1

Yes, brother and sister gerbils will mate once sexual maturity hits. However, inbreeding causes birth defects such as fixed wrists and kinked tails that make it near impossible to rehome any pups that may result.

You should not mate brothers and sisters because birth affects. It also can be bad if mother/son mate or father/daughter. Most of there young will likely die. They can and will mate but i do not advise it.
