Hi all,
I'm a new member, was wondering if there are any zebra finch breeders, breeding black cheeks at the moment? If so, are they for sale?

Hi, welcome to the forum.

There's a few members that have black-cheeked zebras, but I'm not aware of any that are for sale presently. You may need to hold tight for a little while as they breed up numbers.

Black Cheeked Zebra finches are not currently present in Australia, there have been birds with some black cheek traits but never any black cheeks confirmed.

Shane,you are not right technically,but those birds with the grey cheeks need a lot of work put into them to get black cheeks.With the black cheeks even the chestnut flanks are black if you look at Case's pic. Craig

I would love to see pics also of any black cheeks in Australia...
I was lead on a wild goose chase recently but it all turned out to be rubbish I think :hothead:

If there is a Photo make sure you can see the face of the person holding the bird and holding today’s newspaper with the todays date on it (there are none in Aus )
