Yellow headed Gouldian beak color when ready to breed

Post by a_gouldian » Wed Jun 14, 2017 11:45 am

We just received a few Gouldian hens for the Fall/Winter breeding season. One is a Yellow-headed PB Normal. Her beak has a yellow tip and she is 7 months old. Can someone point me to a pic or describe how the beak color will change when she is in breeding mode?
