Here are some pictures of my fawn javas when I got them. Is there any way to tell around how old they are? I believe they are still quite young because the male sounds like he is still "practicing" his singing.
Also are they 100% a pair? I think they should be because the female is much paler but I'm not sure if it's guaranteed since they are young.

Re: Java finch age?
they are in their adult color.... with fawns you can sex based on cap color.... males have a dark coco colored cap, hens have faded caps.... this is a chart to go by also that may help you further

Re: Java finch age?
looks like one is a hen... the one in the single picture a hen
the one in the back may be a boy, hard to tell in the lighting if the cap is darker due to how it is sitting behind the hen
