What are they?

Post by FinchLover&Breeder » Tue Dec 05, 2017 2:16 pm

Hey Guys. I'm trying to buy some "baby" zebra finches from a guy but I cannot tell their gender or mutation. Can you? They are about 2 months old.

Hi Nick,

My guess would be 3 females(?) , maybe Pied mutation, but it's hard to say 100% because they are not fully coloured yet, and won't be for a while.

What colour are the parents?

Not sure Elana. just asked about the parents. but if it is 3 females then that would be pretty cool to have 3 female pied zebras. Imagine their offspring with a Florida silver.
