Re: pls id my new zebra finches
They are beautiful!!
The bird on the first photo looks like Fawn Black breasted.
The bird on the second photo is Fawn Black breasted female.
And the bird on the third photo is A beautiful Isabel lady!
Little info just for fun:
Black breasted zebras:
100% BB birds will have a black line through their tail feathers,
instead of bars.
Also they are missing their tearmarks.
And the males will have extended cheeks and flanks/flankspots.
And of course black breast!
Birds that are split (carrie the gene) for Black breast have
hourglass shaped bars on their tail feathers.

Black face zebras:

Well, its better for me to just put the link

Yes and the cock birds are Black breasted too.
The cock bird in the bottom photo is carrying Orange breasted gene also.
Also looks like the hen in the bottom photo is black breasted too so she is a Black breasted Isabel also known as a Phaeo
Very nice
