FINCHforum

Some days before I bought two long tail finches from a pet shop. The shop keeper told me one is male and another is female. But now I think the two are female. How can I identify the male and female long tail finch by appearence.

What kind of finch do you have? A picture would help. It seems there are more females for sale than males. Most shop keepers either don't know what they are or just want to make a sale, and a pair sounds pretty good.

I am attaching a photo of the same.

I am attaching more photos. Please help me to find whether it is male or female.

I think males but I’m not certain am not skilled at them myself I have only had them a few month but my bet is Male

You sex them on the size of the bibs. The male's bibs is generally wider and more oval. The bib can sometimes can be pear-shaped with the wide part at the bottom.

Mimianil Yes, those 2 birds look like cocks.

Sorry, I forgot about it. The most glaring difference between the sexes is that the cock's tail feathers is about 6 to 10 mm longer than the hen's tail-feathers.
