Are the black cheeked mutations of the zebra finch in Australia? If so, how much do they usually cost? They are such a pretty little bird, I really like the look of them!

Unfortunately not. I think they used to a long time ago but got lost somewhere down the track. I like you would die for some.

I have always been told by specialist zebra breeders that they are extinct in australia. I mean that's pretty rare to have them in that case. I would lovvvvvvvveeee to get my hands on some. :D
