However, as it is virtually unknown in Europe, I thought some of you might like to read about this mutation anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mutation is recessive, and is best described as a normal bird that has a breast bar that extends up to the lower beak, completely black tail coverts and a black line from the beak to just below the eye. Females show the same characteristics, except for the breast bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_x000D_ _x000D_ <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a picture I took in 1996 of a bird bred by Queensland breeder Col Evans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"308\" src=\"http:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/zfd262144-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/zfd262144-1.jpg 470w, https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/zfd262144-1-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Front exists only in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-post","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[77],"class_list":["post-602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colours","tag-77"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":666,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602\/revisions\/666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zebrafinch.info\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
