Aussie Finch Forum

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.

No I don't, spose I could make some inquiries, I used them to try to develop blacks.

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.

Any idea if they made it to this side of the country?
