Really ugly gouldian

Post by MariusStegmann » Sat Jul 02, 2016 3:28 pm

I see one of my gouldian juveniles has started to colour up. It is a white head, white breast, yellow body. This colour combination is certainly unbecoming.

I don't think it's ugly. If you didn't tell me it was a gouldian I would have thought it was a canary and I love canaries.

I perhaps misspoke when I said ugly. What I love about gouldians is the variety of colours. Because it the head is the same colour as the breast, it doesn't give you that rainbow effect.
