So, the yellow ones have two different colored beaks which is why their coloring is different on their beaks?

So pretty, Candace!

Thanks. Misty....just a few quick shots for a customer....I just really haven't found the time to practice my camera skills....

Anna, The beaks will be either red tipped beak (RTB or YTB) depending on what genes they have in their background. These are Black head girls yet they do not look black because the melanin(dark pigment) is blocked due to being yellows. The beak tip will clue you in to whether they are genetically Yellow headed or Red headed... or possibly split for a head color.
Boys will have this too...as you see my black head male has a yellow tipped beak while the red head male has a red tipped beak.
