FINCHforum

So I’ve got two new star finches I think they are both females what do use think

Fraza sorry i can't stat from those pics , but one thing is that first one is pied wich is not very common in starfinch mutations

Fraza

Try for some clearer pictures, but from these two photos, I would say girls, or very young males.

lovezebs yes I think they are females too but I’ll take other pictures of them aswell then it’s just they are so scared of people

haroun okay I’ll post more and really I have another pied one aswell she’s paired to my Male

HEres my pied hen I’ve had for a while and sorry for my pictures they are rubbish today

Right I know myself that the other is a hen but this one I’m u sure about is this a better pic

for the last one , its belly is yellow clear-lemon or grey ?!
but one thing on ur ruffis(starfinch)!there's a lack of the dot in their bodies , may be are them still juvies?

haroun they could be juveniles I’ve never had juvenile stars so I don’t know the difference maybe they are, the only one I know isn’t a juvenile is the 3rd picture because I’ve had her a few months and she was already a year old(got her from bill) the other two new ones I bought off a breeder and I can tell because they are from a breeding cage and when I first let them fly it’s like they didn’t know how to poor things

My Male looks identical to this lol haha

Normally, the red face on males will extend past the eye, while the red face on hens won't go past the eye. Sometimes, though, you will get a male without a good red face. Juveniles are harder to sex, as they don't have all their markings yet. Do any of them sing? Only males sing.

Sally well after use have mentioned about the juvenile thing I know that the pied one is still a juvenile as use have mentioned his dots haven’t came through and I can see some starting

Also his tweet isn’t as strong


However the other one has all the dots it’s just that she was on a blurred pic but it’s defo a girl because I caught her wagging her tail at the male singing lol

Sally thanks for replying

I would say female, but depending on the age of the individual bird.

When I had youbgsters, they looked like this (these are Orange however).

lovezebs so I’m guessing that orange is a Male right ??? In your pictures I think ur right about mine they are bout females but one of them is definetly young
