Baby gouldian head colour ?

Post by cartel » Sun Feb 14, 2010 7:05 pm

His mother had a bh and rtb,and his father is a salmon head so he could be a yellow head. Is he a yellow head or is it to early to tell?(hes around 8 weeks old in the pic)

Definitely genetically OH - you can tell because the beak is yellow.
But whether or not he is BH YTB or simply OH will have to wait until some feathers come in.

Thanks Janine and Nixity. I was thinking so but i never had a yellow head baby and wanted to make sure. At least he has some racing stripes on his belly now so hopefully a head feather will pop up soon :!:
