My new Zebs :)

Post by tobyneilson » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:10 pm

OK was not going to get anymore Zebs but i just could not resist it

This is my black cheek male(the band is as dark as his patch) he is so stunning!!

Image

This is his mate who I got with him,she is split tear and carries the BC gene so hoping to breed some BC from them


Image

And finally a white male(with slight fawn/brown markings on wings) and another split tear female

Image

Sorry about poor pic quality I took the pics on my mobile,
The birds are in isolation cages for now

I forgot to mention, the white male(with slight fawn/brown markings on wings) looks like a Cream.
(the Cream mutation) or a very very light CFW.
Very pretty.
