There has certainly been a trend in America for larger more robust Zebra finches of many different colors, so it may be surprising to see a small, skinny gray Zebra finch on the show bench.
That has happened recently with the arrival of the Timor Zebra finch.
The Timor is the only subspecies of the Australian Zebra finch that we are all so familiar with, yet for many years has been unavailable to U.S. aviculturists.
Nearly two years ago a small number of Timor Zebra finches were included in a shipment of Timor Sparrows and other birds from the region as "filler" birds.
They are now being established in the U.S. through the efforts of a few dedicated Zebra finch fanciers.
