Neck ring color in yellow gouldians...
I've seen yellow birds with blue neck rings and white neck rings.
While they are both beautiful, I find the blue quite striking against all that yellow(and whatever head/breast color the bird happens to be).
My question is...
What makes the ring either blue or white? Are there definite genetic combinations that cause this?
Does it only show up in a white breasted dilute male, maybe?
Could someone clarify this for me?
I'd like to be able to purchase and/or produce some yellows showing this blue ring.
Thanks!
Tim
