FINCHforum

Hi, I have had two saffron finches for over a year. They live outdoors in a huge cage. They were sold to me as a pair and chosen form a large group in a cage but look very similar, almost identical. Over the last year they have certainly grown up and look way better but I cannot sex them at all and assumed they were both hens. Today one was making more noise than the other but I wouldn't call it singing unless they are really bad at it. Any thoughts on how to sex them? Both have a tiny amount of light orange on their heads and the bodies are yellowish and mostly sparrow-like. Anyone have experience with them?

Thanks, Charlie

Don't know much about them but you can check out this link

Thanks. Both look like this one.

Any thoughts??

Just from looking at pictures online, I'd say that they are probably female. Doesn't appear to be any darker orange tint to the forehead, which would indicate a male.
