Just wanting confirmation on these 4 month old red siskins young.

Please for give the photos as they are not the best quality.

the ones where it is on my finger are about a week after it fledged and I though it would bite the dust...may not be able to tell in that photo.

Thanks fir the help!

Just wait another few weeks. Black feathers will appear on the head of males & grey on hens.

Thanks for the info.

I was just curious as I was told they were quire easy to sex at this age. I didn't think it was that easy.
