White on the wing tips means she is split to pied. If you pair her with another pied or split to pied then you will get pied babies.

It's only a split so only one of the parents would carry the gene. Pied is recessive gene meaning a "hidden" gene. Pretty much all my Zebs carry pied and seems to be a very common gene that pops up all the time. You wouldn't know if your birds carry pied or not until you get a pied.

Have you bred either of the parents to a different finch?

Flight Feathers no when finchie got about 4 months old I loved her parents onto a new home because the mother cane really aggressive towards finchie and finchie wanted to breed with the Dad they had some really strong bond because after they was attacked by magpies something changed the mother she just turned nasty and attacked all my finches trying to kill them apart from her mate
