So today I bought what I thought was a Female White Zebra. Well... She has the orange beak like the male but I have caught him/her singing.

Is it possable that it is a young bird and the beak color is still changing? Or that it is a female but she is weird and sings?

Don't know about all the white zebras but I do know that for the regular colored ones, females don't have the colored patch on their cheeks.

hi finches4life
normally the male white zebras has a deep coral coloured beak,as opposed to the orange tint the females have if it is slightly darker than your females beaks then it is definately a cock bird..it has to be!the females do not sing there is a link here that shows the beak colour of the male

It could be that he/she is to young and hasn't fully coloured out??? I've never heard a female zebra sing the way a male zebra does though.
