Aussie Finch Forum

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.

Can't answer your question but congratulations on breeding Red Brows.

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.

Thanks for your help
