Pidge 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Hi all, as in my intro Iv said I've stated Iv just bought my hubby a zebra finch... Normal. He fell in love with the little chap and with the lot that I have I thought it would be a great interest for him. Now this is the question part...... Iv bred zebra finches in the past but many years ago, but this little chap is very small in comparison to the ones I used to keep, are there size variations in these birds or are they bred specifically to be a smaller cousin?

Andyn 534 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Could it be a 'Timor' which are smaller than standard Zebies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Hi Mel no matter what the size, he is a bonny little bird. I may be wrong but looks like he has a black breast. Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scott cunningham 21 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Going on the lack of Zebra throat markings,i would say it was a Timor. Regards Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
