Can you tell me what this color variation is called and what sex are they both? #buttonquail#chinesepaintedquail

I sold them, but the sound is the same as that, the two white ones and those two dark ones sang the same.

the golden pearl in return sings just like my male tuxedo

Those are male sounds.

When i'm sexing buttons i usually look for:
1. Visual: Does the bird have any blue chest feathers, red vent feathers or the typical "bib" underneath the chin. (All 3 are signs of a male)
2. Behavior: Does the bird offer treats to the others. (Males offer treats to females)
3. Sound: if i'm still a bit unsure after i've looked at the other signs then i'll look at the sounds they make but most buttons can be sexed by only using the first step.

I said that the two white ones were females mostly based on their color, the sound they made just made me 100% sure. If you had only posted the sound with no pic of the bird then i wouldn't have been able to

I would not reccomend sexing buttons solely based on the sounds they make. Yes, male and females do have different sounds but they also have a lot of similar sounds, especially young birds. It's easier and more accurate to visually sex them since males and females have very different plumages in every color except for pure whites and some tuxedos.

This was a very long reply but i hope it helps!

Thanks ️

The two white birds were together with the two black birds, and they all sang the same way, making that exact sound. So, are you telling me that both sexes can make that same sound too?

Are you sure that the white ones are female? Have you gotten eggs? I've never heard my girls make those sounds. The females tend to be pretty quiet.

I have a pair of tuxedos, and when both sing, the male is the one in the video who is very loud, while the female makes the same sound as the tuxedo with a Dalmatian back that sings melodiously in the other video.

I’m going to start recording the sounds made by my button quails, focusing on the youngs both sex sounds, the females that are laying eggs and the ones that are 100% identified as males.

Your birds are pretty young right? Young males tend to make the same sounds as hens until they reach sexual maturity, after that they'll start to make the long one-note "peeeeeeew" and the creepy windtunnel sound more.
