Hi, does anyone know of a book that is focused mostly on zebra finch mutations?
Most books i've found explain the genetics but with only a little info on the colours and they seem to only list the most common mutations.

I finally found a picture of what one of the chicks looks like at finchniche. If they haven't molted yet will the colors change much?
He looks a lot like the Silver Isabel Zebra Finch but he has dark white cheek patches. The parents are grays I think. They look like the average zebras. So many colors it's confusing.
