Re: male female?
If he is very young and the beak has not turned to the adult color yet yes, otherwise no.

Re: male female?
i thought u might know the amswer to this question too if you do-
Is it unusual for my female finch to sit and breed on her eggs alone? i have 2 males and 2 females but shes sitting on the eggs alone and chases all the other finches away

Re: male female?
Usually only one sits on the eggs at a time. Maybe she wasn't ready to switch with her partner or is she never allowing the male to sit on the eggs? This would be unusual.
