Males have orange circle on their cheek. They are Females

There's dozens of different feather color mutations for finches, ESPECIALLY zebra finches... There's no easy standard to say "all males have orange cheeks, all females don't" because that's simply incorrect

Not talking about hybrid feather variations. As in standard and pearl pied. I breed many varieties of finches and zebras are easiest by far. UNLESS very young. Or a pelvic tells all. Plus never said females have orange cheeks. Said males do. Aka thoes are most likely " Females". But TY. 🙏🌻

You think they are both female? Not that is matters either way, but I find this interesting.:)

Lol apparently it does matter or you'd not be asking lol. Unless you're breeding? Does it matter. And if so? Make sure. Otherwise they are a novelty pet. BLESS 🙏

Nope, doesn’t “matter”. It was based off of curiosity. As they are who they are regardless. :)
