Before i had the internet i sent some very good birds to the pet shops that would have done a novice starter very nicely!

Hi Gary Really nicely reared youngsters a credit to you mate look very promising perhaps find there way into a show cage later in year! Dave

Welcome to the world of zebra finches hope you enjoy your new hobby have a good look around first find the colours you want to keep and try to buy young birds from established breeders would be my advice to you you will get answers to any questions from plenty on here enjoy

Well done Barry youngsters look promising

All the best Hope you had a great day !

Basically just by selecting the cleanest looking birds you breed off them and discarding the others, Sods law has it that the outstanding birds you breed will be the one with chest barring though but by retaining the cleanest birds both cocks and hens as you might get hens with faint tear marks too in a couple of years should improve it can be hard letting otherwise good birds go but its a must good luck mate

I agree with Dimitri

The main thing you have done right imo is get the head right nice rise of the top of the beak I would pair the father to the best normal hen you can obtain next time concentrating on trying to fix his nice head quality and attempting to improve on the colouring even more useful birds Dave
