Oh, in the picture it looks like what my Blues lower breast color is. That is the problem with pictures online, they usually don't show the true colors.

I have another seagreen. She is a OH/WB. She started out looking like a normal green but is now moulting into seagreen. Check out her green flight feathers and pale belly.

That yellow, white, yellow gould is my DREAM finch. I have a pair with colorings to produce 50% of those offspring. Cant wait to get them to have a go at breeding next season!!!!!
If he looks half as good as that guy, I will be quite pleased!!!
Goulds, Owls, Gold Breasts, Stars, Zebras, Societies
An obscene number of chicks and eggs
And an incredibly rare St. Goldena Breast finch
Anyone want some finches???

No, but they are related.

I have to agree with fincher.
my gouldians are kept in an outdoor aviary year round and during winter the nights get as low as 1 or 2 degrees celcius.
so long as the birds weren't bred indoors hey should be able to survive being outside all year. just make sure there are no drafts getting into the aviary, that is the main killer of gouldians during winter
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.

Well then you have very similar taste to me because that is my favorite Gouldian mutation also!
