Pied gouldian finch

Post by greeneyes » Wed Dec 09, 2015 1:56 pm

Hi there, does anyone know how to produce this beautiful pied gouldian finch like the pic I attached.. I'm very curious and would like to know what color combinations would it take to produce this mutation.

wildbill debbie276 - Do you perhaps have any idea how to get to this mutation? I have not seen any pied Gouldians here in SA

Here's a post from 2011 about pied gouldians

Are you sure it's not an Australian Yellow? I believe they can look very similar to that

I'm not sure maybe it has the australian yellow genetics. A local breeder I know told me its a new mutation, but it seems only a few breeders in SA has this mutation which makes them abit more scarce than the blue and silver
