Zebra Finch

My baby zebra finch is 2 weeks old and has just left the nest although it can't yet fly? Is this ok? It also has a pink beak. Ive read on websites that they should have black beaks? Again is this ok? Any advise?

Re: Zebra Finch

far to young, sould be at least 3 weeks old before it fledges, so pick it up and put it back in the nest.
as for the pink beak, what colour is the chick, what fether colour that is.

Re: Zebra Finch

glad to hear its all good.

sounds like you have an albino, albino zebras are rare!! there are chestnut flanked whites, and 100% pieds which are both comon but have normal coloured beaks. albino will have pink beak and pink eyes.
