This is a great idea! The descriptions online are sometimes hard to follow, especially with mutations you haven't seen before. I know I had no idea what a dominant silver or dominant cream chick would look like (descriptions often just say "diluted coloring", which doesn't say much) I thought a CFW chick was dominant silver at first, before I ever actually produced one.

I'm embarrassed to say it, but its' true.
Good job!

ADULTS:
4 zebras, 2 bronzewings, 2 green singers & 2 owls

Well I couldn't resist and made one more, since I had so many pictures of him and he is quite unusual. Skuggi or Two face, a heavily pied zebra finch.
It took him forever to finish molting into his adult colours, that is the cheek. His brother had been in full colour for many weeks until the cheek finally filled in. I wasn't sure it would ever to that.
