Hope you all are having a good breeding season. I have breed some red brows and one has fledged with white on his wings. Can anyone one give me a reason as to why this has happened

thanks

Could be dietry, or could be a pied. Hope it is whichever you prefer.

Most times white feathers appear in the wing flights of juvenile finches it is as a result of challenging environmental factor(s). I currently have a clutch of 5 young Cordons just fledged & the 2 smallest have similar white flights so they have obviously done it a bit tougher than their siblings (They are not pied Cordons). This usually moults out within a couple of months.
