pintail whydah

Post by TheExtremeCraftsman » Wed Jul 01, 2015 7:48 am

Hey everybody, I just got a pair (or at least I thought) of pintail whydahs. I am in need of experience. Are there any pintail experts out there? I think I ended up with two males.

Congratulations on your new birds.
If you post some pictures here, I'm sure someone will be able to help you with sexing these new kids.

I know that the males will grow the long pretty tails, and the females won't.

I think Mia Carter, has a male. She might be able to help you out.
