new finches
I picked up 2 new Zebra males today from someone that could not keep them any longer. They are unrelated males, but the song that the Normal sings sounds different then what I am used to hearing from my males in the past. It is higher pitched and really different. Was wondering if it was a timor zebra instead of Austrailian zebra. They are both really small compared to my current finches.

hi tina
its possible but the zebra song does vary from bird to bird the sound is basically the same but some are more higher pitched than others...also i may be wrong but the white one looks more like a hen to me as the beak in white males is a more scarlet red as opposed to the orsngy red that you have there

The white's beak is much darker now then when I got him so it could have been a dietary problem causing his beak to be a bit more pale then it should have been.
I got 2 new female zebras yesterday. They are way too young to start breeding them yet, but I got a sivler female and a pied female, she is my favorite.
