Gold Breasted Waxbills
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 10:19 pm
Hello,
I just purchased a pair of Gold breasted waxbills and I have a question about the males color. All the pictures I've seen of the males the breast/belly are a bright orange color but the male I received is black with orange about 50% each color. Is this normal? Will the black go away over time? It's a dark black. Not sure of the age of the birds could it just be a young bird? I purchased them from the finch farm so was unable to see them before buying them but they arrived healthy and happy. If I could figure out how to post a picture I would.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
