Hey all! I’m in South Texas, USA, and this little one flew to me when I was doing yard work outside. I’m assuming it’s a zebra finch? I brought the little one inside and gave them some of my budgies seed, water, and a little millet to perk them up. I have them in a spare cage we had. Would yall say it’s worth it to find owners?
Thanks.

A pair of star finches i bough at a famous Belgian bird shop for a friend, the small cage is temporary he got an outdoor aviary with zebbies and gouldian

Mutation : both are orange headed, male is yellow body and female is clear body ( im not a star finches specialist but i do think that is the correct name )

The bad part : the hen might be very bad in quality she barely have any mask :/

but shes less than a year old maybe next molt she will be better

Baby finch is plucking Momma finch bald.

This picture was a few weeks ago, I separated them and now the moms feathers grew back. They really want to be together but the baby is so needy, like even in separate cages when I feed them her baby wants to eat her moms food instead of her own. They are several months old now.

They were in a huge parrot cage with lots of enrichment when her baby was doing all of this. Should I try to put them back together?

My finch (Marty) has been on the bottom of his cage for a while, doesn’t fly much but when he does he flies for a second and falls back to the ground, he’s limping(?) and doesn’t chirp or talk, let me pick him up and wrap him in a towel without biting or fighting (he never does, but i’d assume he’d try to get away) What’s going on?

Question about blue Gouldian finches

2 Upvotes

The blue mutation is the complete absense of carotenoids, yellow lutein and red canthaxanthin. Yet, red-head and orange-head blue Gouldians still have a red-ish tinge to their face. Is this because they're aren't a 'true, full' blue?

I did consider the possibility of the face colouration being pheomelanin, present on the lower feather barbs, but it isn't the right colour and is too intense. And white-breasted blues, although having a duller face colouration, do not have truely pigmentless white faces. If the residual face pigment was pheomelanin and not carotenoids, the white breasted mutation would prevent pheomelanin expression on the face feathers as far as I know.

Reposting with pic: Male Gouldian with black beak?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

So, I have a question. I got a euro Gould that was sold as a male but the vocalizations sound more...female? I mean I just got him so I'm waiting for him to sing to confirm atp. But he has a black beak, like a hen. Visually, he looks male aside from that. Very vibrant, rich, colors.

Are there males that just have a darker beak? He's supposed to be about a year and a half old. This it the first time I'm seeing one like this and it's throwing me for a little loop.

Edit: I added a couple pictures since I hadn't put any on my last post
