Hello all! I have two juvenile gouldian finches that are just starting to color up. We named them Ping and Pong because I had assumed they would be red heads (husband is English if anyone gets the reference). However, one looks to be molting into a black head? - can't tell yet with the other. I have attached a pic of the parents - this is old because they are both molting and poor Oscar looks like he's been through the wood chipper!
Please help me figure head color out - thanks!

If you are getting BH chicks then your male must be split to BH

Thank you, debbie276!
Does that mean some could be red as well? Or all would be black?
