We received this black-headed pair a few months ago and their 3 fledglings were 41 days old yesterday and weaned so they were moved to a larger flight cage. Here is a quick pic of the family before the fledglings were moved. Their mouths are open because they were a little nervous about me taking their picture. They are not begging.

What a lovely family portrait.

I wonder if the kids will be black or red heads after they molt.

Thanks Elana. I thought the fledglings would be black-headed since the parents are. (?)

Beautiful

You're probably right.
I was just wondering if the parents are split to any other colours.

Beautiful family!

I just looked at the pedigree charts for the parents and the parents of both the adults were all BPG.

Black Heads it is then, sorry for the confusion

You have records, outstanding.

I have a difficult time when buying, as most sellers can't/don't tell me if any of the birds are split to another color. So I have to find that out when I breed them, and get a surprise.

I like the surprise factor with Gouldians.
