Pieds and a Penguin!

Post by PiedPenguinFinches » Mon Oct 04, 2010 11:58 pm

Yesterday I bought 2 pairs of 4 Pied Zebras from a local breeder that lives close to my area and I then spotted a beautiful female as she had all white underneath her and all gray on her back side so I chose to also purchase her from the breeder that was selling them which I've bought 5 of them for the reasonable price of $20. I'd really like to know if the Penguin Zebra Finch female is a rare kind.

This is the breed that I've also purchased 4 from which the breeder was also selling in a large enough cage.

This photo shows a Penguin Zebra Finch female which is the same female from which I've purchased from the local breeder. He did not have a Penguin male as I've only managed to discover the female Penguin out of a cage but inside his aviary.

Penguins are difficult to find, at least here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I have some but want a new bloodline, and have had trouble finding them.

I'm not sure if your penguin female is rare or not. It would help if I could see an actual picture of the bird. The one you have is from efinch.com. I have seen some penguins that are a little lighter in the gray area, and some that are a little darker.
