What I got for xmas....what did I get?????? need help

Post by finchlover1 » Sun Jan 01, 2012 12:20 pm

Got 4 finches. One is a zebra male I think all are cinnamon. All opinions gladly wanted. I took pics. Look pretty true to color. Still learning the pic part so bare with me.

It will be in 2 posts so here goes: these are 3 different birds.

You have a bunch of normal grey zebras. They are split to pied and might have some fawn in them. (Cinnamon is referred to as fawn) I would not breed these birds together as they all look like siblings. You would get, deformed babies. Good luck!

2nd post, 1st picture is a very pretty hen. Find her a fawn male from a different group of birds, so there is no inbreeding.

the first one look like a fawn bb female,
second; is fawn male,
third; possible pied penguin female.
and fourth: normal grey or a fawn female.
If you could get better pictures then
it would be nice.
Did you get them all in the same place?
fawn color turn the black color into brown, dark brown.
here is one of my fawn chicks

Yes, I got them all at the same place. What is bn and bb?

Vargur, I've never seen fawns that GEORGEOUS!!! Where do you get birds that color?

I have paired up only two and the males sometimes sing but they run around the cage likes it's on fire. Bad match?
