Aussie Finch Forum

I'm curious about something,I have a pair of very pretty Zeb's,supposed to be a pair sold to me as a male (he is an Isabelle I guess looking on the Zeb page here) and what was described as the prettiest girl the fellow had "should win a show " he said ,now she is very cute white with a bright orange beak and legs and fawn back and spots on head and some black striping on her tail...but I'm getting a bit suss , she sings half the day with her chest puffed up and its a really loud song too..
I looked at an article today that said boys sing boisterously but girls click and make warming sounds..now I'm not fussed she was only $10 and she is a really sociable thing whenever I click at her she comes down and sings,
but um is she perhaps a he?? the cheeks are all white but I'm really wondering

Is it like the males song ??

Can you post a pic? Some hens do sing but not the deep warble type song.

no I dont know how to post a photo and she is impossible to catch,It is like a males song that real he haw sound..I guess I will have to wait and see if she pairs up and what with.the male she was brought with has taken up with another male .
I read also that girls dont have the bright orange beak but a couple of my girls do ,at least if girls sometimes sing she may be a lady..I was thinking of puting her and her pretty boy together to breed in the future

is she in a aviary or cage?

she is in a indoor avery type cage every time I try to catch her she hides up in the nests and there are birds on eggs up there so I cant risk upseting them

Fair enough she must be pretty good flyer can you try catching her with a net

ha well shes evasive and she knows im after her,if I get her I will photograph her on my mobile and try the photobucket ,it just has me curious!!

Well i guess It's better knowing what she/he is then not knowing
