I was wondering after seeing a certain post about a zebra finch song.
So we all know zebra finches have a squeaky kind of song and any zebra finch I've seen either in person or online had that sound that some people may find disturbing or annoying , but my zebra finch doesn't have that squeaky sound in its song or am I just too used to his song that I started liking it?
Is it even normal for a zebra finch not to have a squeaky song ?
Here is a video where I caught him sing , it has some kind of melody , I feel like if I listen closely to the sounds I can make that sound on a piano or something .

Is that song normal or is it considered a fault ?

Sounds fairly normal,
Different boys, have slightly different songs, depending on the family song which they usually pick up from their father or other male relatives, but basically it's similar to other Zebra's songs.
It can get pretty noisy, when you have a bunch of them all going at it together at the same time

.
Some people like it, and some don't .

lovezebs But I feel like this is not slightly different , it is in my opinion a lot different and like he only has one sound that he makes a tune out of , while other zebras I've heard have a lot of different sounds put together , if you know what I'm saying.

There is no reason to be worried. Try to find another video's on YouTube with zebra finch melodys. You will see it is normal
