I got rid of most of my zebras, but there were a few I couldnt part with. I really like this Charcoal and was wondering is this a lot of black for a charcoal or is it normal?
It ust seems to have more black than others I have had.
Sorry about the poor picture it doesnt do the bird justice he really is quite pretty.

..very nice bird . Cant comment either on the blackness of the bird but it is a nice combination of colours I can see why you couldnt part with it.
Just saw the second pic ...WOW and could it be any blacker ? Maybe , I have seen them with more black but they lost the brown side markings and were nowhere near as nice as this one.
Not an expert someone with more knowledge will have to give a more qualified opinion. :D

Sorry to say although it looks to be a good style of bird, it is only on the better side of average in colour.

Although these are young they moulted only slightly lighter.

I like all of them Zebs very much. Have just this morning paired a silver cock Zeb from a black fronted to a grey hen from a black fronted. Fingers crossed for black fronted silvers. Does anyone out there have these?
