BH gouldian female with red patches

Post by Babs _Owner » Wed Nov 25, 2015 9:48 am

Two questions

My female Bri who is breeding (and has 4 fledglings), has a BH but with a few patches of bright red. So does that her a BH or a RH?



Her mate Audy is RH. So Im assuming babies will be all RH?

Even one red feather means RH.
Chicks will all be RH unless the male is /BH or both are /YH

It looks like your babies will be Red heads :-).
Did you manage to put bands on them? You may also want to put some little colour plastic rings on them, so that you can tell them apart from parents and one another as they get older (as family resemblance can be quite strong :-D).

I always find it somewhat nerve wracking, so he can come over any time and band mine :-). Always feel like a giant with too many fingers, on hands that are too big (and their toes always seem to go in all the wrobg directions ;-))

Honey, if I could I'd pack you up and move you down here. Then Bill can band your birds and we can laugh our tails off....enjoy each others finches. Then we can drag you out with Bubba and the boys and we'll take ya to the shootin range :twisted: .

Heres something to tempt you ;) .......we only get snow here every 3 years or so, and it melts the next day usually. Right now its just a little chilly with a nice crisp fall smell to the air.

Awww thanks. <3 I didnt know how well he'd measure up to some of the beauties you guys have. Hoping for some pretty babies. I can't get a good shot of his mate Bri close-up. She rarely gets off the nest of eggs. She's a good momma.

But she has a nice PB, and a good shade of GB. I'm hoping the babies come out nice and vivid colored. I do enjoy the normals very much.
