Hi everybody

I'm new to the zebra finch but the bug has bitten hard lol. Could somebody please advise on pic of new baby i have. I haven't seen a light coloured beak like this before. What mutation could it be?

Thanks

Interesting! I know sometimes the babies can have this cream color of beak instead of black in some mutations and then turn orange later. Did it start with this color, or was it born with a black beak?

What a beautiful baby.

What colour mutation are the parents?

My pure Whites, had pale pink beaks as youngsters, which later turned red.

Thank you. The mother is fawn pied white and father looks like fawn isabel with chest bar lol if that makes sense. I know that's a contradiction but I'm sure you experts will figure what I mean. Sorry I'm still learning.

It seems like the two older siblings have a somewhat more pale shade of beak as well (especially the one in the foreground) more orange than red.

It will be interesting to see if the baby matures into a darker beak.

Any help on identifying mom an dad so we can have a guess at what baby may be?

Samc I didn't read the previous post properly. I thought, you said it was the parents. As the bird in the back was clearly a cock, I thought the bird in the front must be the mother. I see they are siblings and NOT the parents.

Sorry, I am not a Zebra mutations expert.

You could click on my thread which I posted below, then click on the blue link in there. It shows practically every colour mutation under the sun. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for.

Good luck
