Hi all. I noticed two little blue feathers appear overnight on the neck of my 2 month old Gouldian. Is this typical?

Adorable!!! I bet one of our Gouldian breeders can help you with this. What are the parents mutations?

In the picture you have a RH.PB.Green (RedHead.PurpleBreast.Green) male and a RH.WB.Green (RedHead.WhiteBreast.Green) hen
The blue you are seeing is probably just the blue ring around the mask coming in.
Good looking chicks, congratulations

Hi Kyle.
Your babies are gorgeous!
As Debbie mentioned, it looks like the blue ring that frames the face . If you will look at your male, you can see it very clearly. Usually, males have a much brighter ring than females, although some females have a fairly bright ring as well.
Allthough I wouldn't swear to it, (just a guess) that this little one, might be a boy

Ok, I thaught the RH/PB/YB was red head purple brest yellow belly. I guess the last YB refers to the body colour. Just learning this. You guy's are right im sure its a boy he has been singing the last few days and getting better at it.

Isn't the song great? I just got my gouldians this last weekend, and they are really starting to settle in, so they are singing more, and OH what a lovely song they have!!! So happy for you, what fun you have in store, especially getting to watch them color up!!!

If he's singing, than definitely a boy, and a cutie too.
Yes, YB, would mean 'Yellow Body'.
