Seperate Zebra Finch Gender ( sex )


What sex is your Zebra Finches?
There 2 ways to understand.
I don't know one of them :)
But the easiest one is;
Looking at the red tone on their rostrates.
If the red tone is darker and more alive;
It is probably a MALE finch.
If the red tone is lighter,
It is probably a FEMALE finch.
This is not an exact way.
Only a simple and quickest way.
So;
In the picture?
What sex are these finches?
I think; top to botton; M, M, F :)

The easiest way to sex a zebra finch is to look at their cheeks. If it is orange, then it's a male, if there is nothing there at all, then it is a female. Though this only works for earlier mutations, like pied, gray,and black faces. And the second way was the one that you mentioned, by the beak. If the beak is red, it is a male, if the beak is orange, it is a female.The beak method is simple, but it is not always 100% accurate.
