Can anyone tell where I can get information on breeding Phaeo Zebra finches and if you have a pair of phaeo's do they breed all phaeos. I have been keeping birds for about 15 years Budgies, Cockatiels and Zebras but I have just got interested in special mutations.
Thanks

Not the best pictures but this is a phaeo split orangebreast
Phaeo hens look a bit like this.
Sorry the pictures of the cock aren't the best but so many people breed combinations with phaeo that these are the best pictures i can get of a nearly pure one. A pure phaeo would not have the orange at the edges of the breast bar.

I have a picture in the gallery of mine. They are only aviary bred but a pretty bird. They produce the odd blackbreasted now and again.

Micky this is a fawn blackbreast cock. If it is split for isabel then it could produce phaeos with an appropriate mate. However i wouldn't like to judge from this photo whether it is carrying isabel or not.

Micky here a coplle Blackbreast Isabel Fawn, The name Phaeo doesnt exist.
at the "design" of this mutation combination the Orangebreast not yet existed, so on the table spoke we with each other that this combination could not be sometimes maximum of Phaeomelanine, knowing that later the Orangbreast exist. These Orangebreast in combination with the Blackbreast, isabel and the Blackface actual Phaeo must be called but belief me comes there still more coloured zebrafinches. I breed now splits for the combination Orangebreast Blackbreast Blackface Eumo, when full will give that the maximum Orange bird.
