I just got a pair of zebra finches yesterday, and I'm pretty clueless as to what variety they are. The woman at the pet store couldn't really tell me anything about them...
I'm a complete newbie finch owner, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I've only got one picture right now, and it's kinda huge, so I'm just gonna link it: *Ack, it won't let me post a link because I've got no other posts. Sorry! I'm adding a comment to this post with the picture link if I can.
I've managed to deduce that they're both male (right?), and I'm guessing that one in front is a gray... But the other one? Ha. My best guess is that he's maybe a recessive silver? He doesn't really have any of the regular black markings, and his body is a lighter colour than the other one. He's still got the chestnut flanks with the white spots, though - and his are actually more pronounced than the other's.
If anyone could tell me for sure, that would be awesome. I'll try to get a few more pictures, but they're still pretty freaked out from the trip home, so I'm trying not to bother them too much right now.
Thanks!
