Your "BH WB YB boy.jpg" Is genetically a YH unless I'm not seeing a yellow tipped beak. It is also a SF Pastel So it would be BH YTB WB SF Pastel. :wink:
GORGEOUS birds! =D>

Thank you Debbie, the tip of the beak is orange... still learning all there is about the gouldian genetics!! I can do zebra, java, shaft tail genetics in my sleep!!! The gouldians are a bit tricky, thank you for your help!!

I am still trying to find a good book to download to read up on them. Several good sites online but love have a book to reference also.
