Few days before I bought two shaft tail finches. I am attaching their photo. Please help me to identify whether they are male or female.

Shaft tails are difficult to sex...

Here is a bit of an article to help, but the surest way is if the male begins to sing, and the female lays eggs.

Two males, will usually not get along for very long, unless they are in an aviary.
