Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1989
Tertiary sex ratios of Zebra Finches Poephila guttata are weakly but consistently male-biased (52.1%) over a broad geographic range. The cause of this bias does not appear to be differential mortality of adults, because adult males and females remain resident at study sites for equal lengths of time.

Incestuous Mating in Zebra Finches
Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 1981AbstractZebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) were tested in quadruplets in which they had the choice of mating with a close relative or a non‐relative. The majority of birds chose to mate incestuously and possible reasons for this finding are discussed.ZusammenfassungZebrafinken, denen die Wahl gelassen wird, sich mit einem nahe ver‐wandten oder mit ...

Visual System Alterations in White Zebra Finches
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 1996Visual system anomalies in albino mammals are generally seen to be caused by a lack of retinal pigment and misrouting of retinofugal optic fibers. This study shows that the central visual system of white zebra finches is physiologically different from normally colored (wild type) birds, although the eye pigmentation and the retinofugal projection ...

Song discrimination in female zebra finches and bengalese finches
Animal Behaviour, 1989Etude du chant lors du comportement de cour chez Taeniophylia guttata et Lonchura striata. L'hypothese selon laquelle la femelle utilise le chant du mâle pour reconnaitre l'espece de celui-ci est testee ainsi que celle selon laquelle la femelle choisi le mâle ayant des phrases de chant plus longues et plus ...

![Figure][1] When an ardent male zebra finch starts chirruping, he isn't whistling just for pleasure. With each rendition of the song that he learned as a fledgling, he advertises his fitness, hoping to attract a mate.

Song Learning in Bengalese Finches: a Comparison with Zebra Finches
Ethology, 1987AbstractMale Bengalese finches, Lonchura striata var. domestica, learn their song from an adult male conspecific with whom they can interact at 35 to 70 days of age and normally‐raised males fail to reproduce song which they have only heard before or after this time.
