Any ideas, I think its probably a finch but the owner cant decide as she thought the beaks were supposed to be yellow/orange :wave:

Those darker patches are now brown feathers :wave:
 
:love: Aww, cute!

Dunno.

I thought canary as you can see yellow, but I don't know. Only time will tell I guess.
 
her name is Strawberry :love: shes really cute, if you hold her up to about eye level and then bob your head she copies :lol: but she did poo in my hand the other day :evil::lol:

I guess we will have to wait yes!
 
I would hazard a guess and say canary...but it really could be either:lol::lol: strawberry is :love::love: whatever he/she is:thumb:
 
we arent sure which nest she fell out of, theres a finch nest and a canary nest right next to each other :lol: both equally bad birdy parents ;)

We had them in an indoor aviary years ago but the youngest was allergic to feathers:roll: I think he/she looks more like a canary baby....but wouldn't like to say for sure as it was about 8 years ago I last saw a baby:lol:

Yeah from what I remember they yellow as they come through...some can be browny/yellow or a green/yellow. I think the finch babies will come through with their natural markings too...it was a long time ago though:oops: She looks quite big for a finch baby but I am really no expert:oops: I loved having them though, it was lovely to hear then singing in a morning:D

ahh could be a canary then! they're lovely to listen to :love:
 
Looking at the beak shape and the fact the top overlaps a little on the top id say canary :)
pretty one at that.
there is that many morphs of canary colour she wont neccesarrily have yellow in her xx
 
thanks everyone :wave: shes looking even more bird like today and was grooming herself (those pictures are really old ones, will get new on Wednesday) :thumb:
