6 baby zebra finches

Post by Sue55 » Sun Jun 11, 2017 1:53 pm

Hi
Well, all but one of my babies are out of the nest. So, if none of them have orange cheeks, they must be all girls?
I was looking through the information section and another person had oranged checked fledglings. None of mine have orange cheeks. Their legs have started to turn orange, but not their beaks yet. But no orange cheeks.

Here are 3 of the babies. The parents are they typical grey, I posted a pic of the father. The mom looks the same except female colours.

They are still too young to tell. Wait until the beaks change colour
