Boy Or Girl Zebra?

Post by saragoescrazy » Sat Oct 28, 2006 12:51 pm

Okay, I recently bought this other zebra finch... it looks like a normal white female and everything, but the guy, who I don't think knows much said he thinks all of them in the cage are male, including this one... although my male doesn't care too much for this one intitially, she's not making the noises like the singing that males do, but is there a small possiblity it could be a very young male? Or would it definately be a female?

Just curious, had to check with people that might know better than me. TIA! :-)

Yes, I agree. It looks exactly like my CFW fledgling hens did. It's so young its beak is still black.

there is a feint possibility thay the male may not like it as it may still be begging for food with its beak still being black..it may not be properly weaned yet
