Zebra finches
Hi all!
I dont know if I told you yet, but I also fancy zebra finches
I have breed a lot of different colors.
My BC CFW female and normal BC male have chicks in their nest.
Hopefully these will be my very first (except for their mom) BC CFW boys and girls!!
wish me luck!!

I'm sorry to hear you lost a chick...
Your flock is beautiful, you sure have quite a varied colour assortment there!
I didn't know the inside of the finches beak and tongue had spots on, it's very interesting.
Is it only the chicks that have those spots or do they keep them as adults?

They lose the spots when older.
The spots are different between mutations.
Aww I miss my little Zebbies! I used to raise them too a number if years ago. You have some beautiful mutations!
It always amaze me how small they are. They are also very interesting birds and beautiful!Aww I miss my little Zebbies! I used to raise them too a number if years ago. You have some beautiful mutations!
Thank you
you are welcome
Birds are awesome!
I hear strong calls from the chicks when the parents are feeding them,
very exciting!
I put together another pair, a very beautiful one.
They havent breed before.
The male is big, around 30 grams.
This is the male, his name is Þorri

Thank you
I did a nest check yesterday and I think there are three chicks inside.
I think there are two boys and a girl. All cfw and they should be all black cheeks!!

cant wait to see them feathering up some more!

its is quite easy when you have cfw chicks, the females are darker
but its more difficult if you have other colors, you have to wait until they molt for first time into adult feathers.
yes its almost impossible to tame them, unless you maybe handfeed them.
Its rare to have tame zebra.
Ahaaaan. Thank you for the information.its is quite easy when you have cfw chicks, the females are darker

So out of Budgies, Tiels, Love Birds and Finches, it is easiest to find the gender of a budgie. One just needs to take a glance at the cere colour.
you are welcome
I think zebras and budgies ease to tell the gender very early.
Budgie more easy.
Zebra finches molt very quickly into their adult feathers, around 5 week old.
Somtimes I can tell their gender only 21 days old. (if its a boy)
Thank you Despina!!
Their mutations are also dominant, recessive and sex - linked so.
With the sex linked mutation its also easy to tell at early stages the gender
So much fun!!
