CFW pied??

Post by finchman101 » Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:47 pm

Looks like it to me....the pied took the orange out of this little guys cheeks.
this eplains the pied effect on the CFW
http://www.efinch.com/species/piedzeb.htm

"It should not be combined with white mutations, except for the all White, or pattern mutations like the Penguin. The white blotches of the Pied mutation when combined with white mutations like CFW, Florida Fancy or Fawn Cheek tend to ruin the effect of the orange markings on the white body. The dilute varieties like Dominant Silver also do not offer the contrast needed to make a very attractive combination."

I love the way he is just laying in your hand!!! He is a cutie!

Lol he is cute, I sold some zebs today but decided to keep him for some reason he just seemed more tame than the rest, just like his mum.
