Important Zebra Finch Question2007-11-24 17:23:12

I now have baby zebra finches which are (all but one) different color mutations than their parents. There are three fawn and one pure white. Can anyone tell me or give me a website that can tell me how to distinguish between boy/girl in these color mutations?

Answers:

catch them an look under their beak where it joins the chin area.

If its a pointed gap its male, if its rounded its female.

Gets easier after a while and is about 80% effective.

otherwise when they mature males will have brighter red beak and feet, female will have orange to yellow beak and feet.

Many males will still get cheek spots and usually black cheek barring.

i used to have them a while back let me see--i think the beak color is an indicator with this species of sex bright orange i think is male----but chk please--write zebra finch in the search bar and there you go

Males weather dark in color or white, always have the orange cheek patches. Females do not. Some mutations will not have it please read below.

Winged Wisdom is a good web site for bird information.

i have had finches for years. i don't think the colors of the feathers have anything to do with sexingg the birds. i believe it has to do with the area above the beak. they are great pets with pleasant personalities. good luck
