Fizzy reports that the first of Rose Red and Shakespeare's babies fledged (left the nest for the first time) on November 1, and the second fledged this morning! Baby #1 so far looks like a normal grey zebra, except for a white spot on its head. Baby #2 looks like a normal grey. Both male and female normal grey Zebra babies are almost all dark grey with black beaks, and don't get their adult plumage or orange beaks until their first molt — we won't know their genders until then. That white spot suggests that Baby #1 is a Pied mutation. Shakespeare himself is Pied, and Rose Red probably carries the genes for the Chestut-flanked White mutation, so Fizzy was hoping for some nice colors. We don't have any pictures yet, but you can click here for a close-up of baby Rose Red, with Sister Snow White and father Guy. Guy is a normal grey Zebra finch, with the telltale cheek patches of the male. Rose Red, a normal grey herself, is begging on the right. Snow White is being fed; as a Chestnut-flanked White mutation, her feathers were white even before her first molt.
