The boy is noticably smaller than the girl. And I'm not talking about when the girl puffs up her feather and the boy doesn't. Is that normal? Would they still breed if not? Thanks!

I haven't encountered this in zebra finches. How old are they? Are they from the same clutch? If so, they shouldn't be allowed to breed. Have they seen an avian vet for physicals?
I have heard of a smaller than normal-size cockatiel who was the "runt" of the clutch, and had to struggle just to survive.
