well the best thing to do is have a crack at breeding them and see what comes of it . how many birds are there. if an un even number pair it up with a normal and see what differnces in the offspring u get. have you seen the pearls that are out now...pete

Hi Todd, i just thought that a Zeb with a Red Beak is Male and an Orange is Female.

hey jarryd 99% of zebies are sexed by there colour of there cheek patches and the lack of markings.with the pure white beak colour comes in to play and you can also get yellow billed zebies too. todd i know where you went swanvalley birds glenn is pretty knowledgable. the siver goulds was the give away ....pete
