Cracking bird gary, be nice to see when its coloured up. Well done mate, Chris

Happy birthday mate, Hope you have a good one. Chris

Hi trevor, Cracking birds mate. A good list there to indicate the black type birds. :-D Will this on be in the breeding program next year? Chris

Hi neil, Nice bird again mate, I would say fawn bc, do you have any pictures of the front. There doesn't seem to be any bar marking on the tail which could mean something else. Chris.

Hi, Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it. Chris.

Hi tom, Welcome to the forum, there are plenty of keepers/breeders on the forum that will more than help you out with any questions, feel free to fire away. Cheers, Chris

Hi mark, Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it all. Chris

Hi kenny, Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it. Chris

Hi claire, Thats a nice looking bird. The other chicks look promising to. I have one that looks like that not sure what its going to be at the moment not long came out of the flight. Well done. Chris

Hi gaz, Nice looking bird mate, I to would say isabel clean markings. Chris

Kerry, I have found that they breed in the winter when your trying to stop them. I have only bred about 35/40 this year as I started late again. Hopefully next year will be better. Let me no if any of the bb bc are up for offers :-D. Chris

Kerry, That's the great thing with zebs in a mixed flight you never know what you get out. Do you cage breed any of your birds? Chris

Hi kerry, That's a lovely looking bird, was you aim to breed one like that or are they in the flight? Chris

Hi all, What would the out come of these be; Bc grey male X bc cfw female Bc cfw male X bc grey female. Thanks, Chris

Hi mitch, Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it very useful. Thanks, Chris

Kerry, I had a few pairs of firetails a few years back there lovely birds they weren't that flighty once they were settled. It all depends what you want to do with her, it would be interesting to see what she chucks out if she can that is. If she can't lay fertile eggs then put her in the flight anyhow this way you know your not going to get any funny looking chicks out. Has the pink still stayed on her tail? I think you will always wonder what if she had a round of eggs amd they were fertile. Chris.

Hi kerry, It would be nice to see what the out come would be of young if any. If it was me I would just keep it in the flight as a pet or spare, people have there own opinion on this, its like a goldfinch mule people go out there way to breed these just for the song and colour. The price of these vary from £30 up to £150 possible more. What kind of price do you put, if you was to sell on a diamond firetail x zebra finch? You could call it a 'diamond zebra' or a 'firetail zebra' What type of song does he/she have? Cheers, Chris

Nice looking bird mate. Well done. Chris.

Hi Trevor, Cheers for that mate, so a good mix up then. Looking forward to breeding them now. Chris

Hi, Welcome to forum. Chris

Hi onespoon, Im not 100% on the gentics side of things to. Im only just getting to grips with some of it, without the help of the experienced breeders on here I would be lost. Chris.

Hi all, Thank you for your comments. Colly its got to be the lady, her flight and set up is real nice. I have done the research on the birds, the two black cheek; Parents: Bc female x bb male = 2x bc split bb males. This is the easy one. The two bf females: Grandparents, Tripple black male x ???? Unsure on this. Which they produce a bb split bc male. So, bb split bc male x bf female= 2 bf split bb bc females Hope you can make sense of this it took some working out for me. Now ill pair when old enough; Bc, split bb male x bf split, bb, bc female. What will the out come of this be? Cheers all.

Hi colly, I think they are, she has a few avairy with zebs in each avairy. Has two little dogs to. Have you had some from her before then? Chris

Hi trevor, I wish I did have a magic hat, I try a few winning lotto tickets :-D There from 2 different nests mate the two black cheeks are from one and the two females are from another. I didn't get chance to see the females mate, but what I did see was a tripple black male with a bf bb female, I did ask the about this as it been a dominant gene and she said they have bred 6 healthy chicks which confused me as I thought the bf x bf was a big no. Other than that im very happy with the birds always worth the ride out. Im looking forward to see what the females chuck out I may pair the males up to the females if they are all split for bc and bb with the females been bf show have some nice colours out. What would be the out come of this be; Bc split bb male x bf split bc bb female? Chris.

Morning all, Just got back from derby picked up these 4. Two black cheek males and two blackface female. I would say that the males are split for bb to as I seen the father. The one female have put the extra pictures up came from a tripple black male or eumo. Well thats what he looked like. Your thoughts of these, not sure on the female. Thanks all, Chris
