Thanks Liz, Janine (I went on my own...hmmm), annague and Domenic.

no...it is white cheeked, white chest and underbelly, no tear markings, bright red beak, gray back and head. No flank markings, pied on the back with a gray beatles hair cut. I believe it might be a cross with a dominant silver and penguin...I want them to calm down a bit, I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Could someone give me an opinion...the male in the back with the creast is a pied, I was told it was a penguin split pied.

The one in the middle has a faint tear streak and faint cheeks...I was told this is a female, I am thinking it is a male???? possibly a dominant silver???? Recessive silver???? http://www.efinch.com/species/rszeb.htm

The one in the front is plump, cute as a button and loves pellets, she is like a kid in a candy shop, she can't stay out of the bowl. This looks like a female penguin.

The top picture is the new shy Florida Fancy male.

These are the Continental CFW and the shaftail female.

Ooooh - now I want penguins too!!!

[cindy]

This is another picture of the female (male?) with the cheeks....what do you think?

[annague]

Beautiful birds! Very unusual.

[MLaRue]

I'm of no help but they are certainly cute!!!

Oh I have never even seen mutations like that, so cannot comment however your new birds are wonderful. Very different.

[lovemyfinch]

They are all very unique and soft looking Cindy, congrats

[cindy]

Thanks everyone....I am begining to think the little gray and white guy with the crest looks a little like a seagul.

[cindy]

I think might need more flights besides these....and a bird room!!!

(ps...I have one more flight but it is for the bourkes!!!)

[lovemyfinch]

Cindy, you may just need a bird HOUSE

[cindy]

UMMMM Janine, I forgot the flight for the borkes and the flight the green singers are in and the two cages the new birds in quarantine are in...the lovebird...the two dogs. I say a house with a bird "cottage" would be grand!!!

[Domenic]

Just wanted to say that your zebras look great. Very unique mutations, cool. And I think Seagull is a pretty good name for a zebra finch. Mine, mine, mine, mine. I can just imagine a zebra saying that.

Thanks Domenic, I can't wait till they are out of quarantine. I am taking two 30x18 cages and joining them to make flights. I am going to put two pairs of the same mutation, different color in the cage. The parents will be banded a certain color and their young a different color. Doing the cages like this will make it easier to feed and water and the cages can be stacked with lights attached to the sides.
