Re: Typical teenagers catching a few rays...
Aw man are they adorable!!!! I just got mine, and I was noticing the way they sleep (very similar to the stance in your photo) with the chest puffed out and the head scrunched, but tilted back, How on EARTH that can be comfortable I don't know!!! But this is a GREAT pic!!! Beautiful birds as well, what is the one on the left? He's very light.

Re: Typical teenagers catching a few rays...
Debbie276,
this is what you said he is when I asked about a pairing:
Ok, so your male is a Red or Yellow Head (can't tell with Blue mutations), Lilac Breast Single Factor Pastel Blue (AKA SF YellowBlue). Because he is LB he is visually white rather then blue like he would be if he was PB.
it's the lighting that might make him look more blue in the picture. btw, has anyone ever seen a blue headed lady gouldian? or know anything about them? I know it's another new mutation.

Gotcha, didn't remember. In that picture his back looks more blue then white, must be the lighting.
So he's SF Pastel Blue, one pastel (yellow) gene and 2 blue genes. A Pastel Blue AKA "silver" is 2 pastel genes and 2 blue genes, so he's not really a "silver" but looks like one because of the breast color.
