Hi all,

I put my Javans in the new aviary on Sunday. Pulled one of them off the floor this morning. I think it may have hit the wire from a night fright :cry: . Anyway, can javan's be sexed like other munias, here is a photo of it.

I would like to hear opinions on it's sex.

Cheers
Ian

ps. It's partner will be available free to a good home in a couple of weeks (just need to make sure that it did hit the wire and wasn't ill.)

Really annoying when that happens. At least it wasn't the hen - if that's any consolation.
