It is quite easy to determine male and female in Zebra finches using a specific pattern of colors in their body. There are many color variations in Zebra Finches. They are as follows,- Standard Grey

Other than the White color finch, we can easily identify male and female by seeing the pattern in the cheeks of the male.

Male Finch will have a orange pattern on its cheecks, whereas females dont have that. Males have very beautiful patterns on its body compared to female.
2.Based on Beak

This is the only easy method to determine male and female in White colored Zebra Finch. Because both male and female will be completely white and you could find no color pattern.
Males have Dark Colored Beak and Female has Light colored (orange) Beak |
3. Based on Activities
This type of sexing finches has limitations. Here males will often sing songs to attract females, whereas this can be seen only with the adult finches. With this method, you cannot determine the gender of young finches. Even for the adults, it is a bit difficult because you may not find them singing once you go near them. You also need to wait and observe from a distance. When you go near the cage they may fear and will not sing having you nearby.
Female Finch will not make much noise they will remain silent as always.
