today i went down to the pet store today and ended up coming out with a new pair of zebra finches, alright price as well at $20. The female is a blackface and the male is an orange faced, (i think????). i have only had them for a few hours and already i have noticed signs of singing and an interest in the nest. :D :D :D
i got some photos here to show as well:

No yeah I noticed that as well deb. The females beak is definatly redder than what it normally should be. But it's definately a female though.
