Zebra Finch - Poephila guttata

These Australian finches are very popular little birds, easy to keep and breed, inexpensive, and are a perfect beginner’s bird. They can also provide quite a challenge for skilled aviculturalists with the large range of mutations that can be produced. The normal colour is grey but they can be white, fawn, pied and more! Zebra finches tend to disrupt breeding so best not mixed with delicate exotic finches - happy with Canaries, Java Sparrows and robust finches.
