What color gouldian is this?

Post by carcoozie » Sat Jul 16, 2016 6:51 pm

Just looking at her - I think her - is this a blue? Mom is OH-PB-YB. Dad is RH-PB-GB. My male babies are all dilute and females are GB. But is this a female (I don't see any turquoise strip).
@toddmin , if you are still on here and if you happen to remember cause it's been a while, were the two you sold me possibly split to blue? Whatever she/he is I think it's beautiful. :D

Both in the first picture are Blue.
The bird with the tanish head color is a RH/YH (RedHead split to YellowHead) from the genetics you quoted. Looks like in the pictures the breast is a deep purple color so I would say a male PB. If all normally black areas are grey it is a Single Factor.

Both parents must be split to Blue.

Congratulations and best of luck
