Post: sexing Java ficnhes

Posted by Kitty.J on 1/25/06

I know how to sex them by looking at the beak and in some
colors the colors of the feathers, but what about a normal
colored java. i went to Jones and Co. pets (petstore) and
they have java finches in a cage together, i know there
must be just one male there!!! I have 2 females, i need a
male, my females being paired together lay too many
eggs... How do you sex javas by just looking at them, do
they sing a lot like zebra or society finches so i wont
have to wait a long time to find a potentail mate for my
females. I have patience so should i just sit on the floor
watching the stores birds hoping one will sing, if that is
what i have to do i will! But is there a way i can just
look at them and tell, like from a few feet away. Like is
the male bigger or does one of the sexes always have its
tailed raised high ( my male society finches do that!)
Well in help on this matter is appretiated, thanks!
