I'm not good at sexing Gouldians either, but there are other members who will be able to help you. I did look at the photos, and they are beautiful birds! Do you have others?

Welcome to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, where you will find many articles on finch care and especially the Gouldian finch. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions later on. If you check out the NEW USERS START HERE section, it will tell you how to post photos directly in your post, which will make it easier for members to see them.

Welcome to rhe Forum

I would say that the Red Head, is a boy, and the Black head, is a girl.

They are beautiful birds, congratulations.

debbie276@jugleong I will delete the topic 'new gouldians' since it is a duplicate of this one. Thanks for catching that, debbie276, I didn't see that one.
