Zebra breast color

Post by IBleed4Thee » Mon May 05, 2008 7:49 am

I am new to finches and have a question about the breast color of my zebra finches.

I have to females and three males and am curious about their breast color, it' is almost dark tan/golden color instead of the white that I have seen or here and elsewhere.

I don't know the parents of these birds, as I got them from a man that breeds them.

Is this normal or a mutation?
