I didn't know of any Gouldian hybrids before, but I found this online.

The Gouldian really predominates in the phenotype, but you can see some features which are abnormal, namely the green underbelly, blue breast, and orange tail feathers.

I saw that just a few weeks ago! They are actually really pretty in an odd sort of way.

Sheather Yes, I have seen a couple of gouldian / parrotfinch hybrids. Not really the best of both worlds.

I have heard of it before and saw some pictures as well.

Are you tempted to start a new breed of 'Parrotolian' Finches, Dylan? :lol:

I think they look pretty, but there are so few Parrot Finches around here, that it would be a crime to mix the species and muddy up the gene pool.
