hi all! I'm new as you can tell, and i have a pair of zebra finches. im going to breed them and i want to know what the babes are going to look like...

male:your basic gray with brown cheeks white belly stipped tale, the most common

Female: light grey with white belly and grey stipped tail,

(parents looks unknown)

so what do you think i will get?

wish me luck on my breeding!

Sounds like you have two normal parents, so most likely you will get babies that look just like the parents.

If I'm right, your female is a lightback grey bird, which color is caused by a sex-linked recessive gene, so you will have all normal grey babes, from which the males split to lightback greys.

You'll get some little pink things with fuzz.
