Still trying to get used to my new camera, a Canon SX130 IS. Also, I put these images on photobucket and don't know how to make them smaller here on the forum to be larger when you click on them, so apologies for the huge pics. (edit: I see they got smaller when I submitted the post, so nevermind! )

Very cute! I love those cheeks on your pied boy

Linda, the pictures are so clear!! Great job! The pied male picture second from the bottom is really nice!!!

Thanks, Oshtray. I went into Petsmart for some bird seed and saw this pair and fell for those cheeks.

Thanks also, Cindy. I'll keep playing with the camera. At least I know it's me and not the camera if they're out of focus.

wow ! that male is absolutely gorgeous!

Nice pictures! I so nedd a mew camera for my birthday. Looks like a pied kale and split hlack cheek hen, are these new birds?

Great shots!

Beautiful birds, and great shots! The last few especially are so close up and clear

Great pictures and wonderful zebras

Absolutely gorgeous pictures. Your Zebras are lovely also.

Thanks. He's very amusing as well and probably the least flighty of my zebras.

I get everyone mixed up, but thought you had a birthday recently? Target is selling this camera for $99.99, if you can find one in their store. I bought the last one they had available on their website.

You have a good memory! These are indeed newish birds. I rehomed 4 zebras and got this pair about a month ago at Petsmart. I mean, who could have resisted??

Thank you Dee, Lisa, Ameza, and JohnBoy. I was doing a lot of experimenting with the camera when I took those shots. Now if only I could remember what camera settings I was using for those last few pictures.

Thanks Katie. I didn't notice if she had black in her chest or not and I'm not really sure what I'd be looking for. I don't have a normal female to compare her to.

Nope, in July!! And I like the camera! And she has a blick stripe in her chest, indicates /black cheek

Oh, I didn't realize. Well, lucky me. So, could they possibly produce offspring that are black cheeked/pied?

Nope, the offspring will be

50% normal/black cheek pied
50% normal split pied

Try finding her a bc boy!
