Congratulations! :) I thought you were going to pick up some silvers? =D>
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

I was, but none to be had!
He's a nice fellow but I think he is colour blind. #-o :roll:
They all looked like white breasted, double factor yellows to me?
Also they were young and not finished their molt.
So I did not want to risk it.
I can always go back later.

Nice looking birds! I like the black headed yellow male, too.

Aww, they are gorgeous. I love the personality all gouldians seem to have, it shows in pictures. :)

Good luck with them.

As you can tell I like my yellows b =D> est!
Also I forgot to mention that the hen is split for blue.
Her sister is also an orange face and produced blues in her first clutch.
Fingers crossed then!

I was thinking the same thing, the male looks single factor. Just goes to show you pictures don't always show the true colors because the head sure looks grey and not white to me. :)

Agree, single factor. That is why you see a lime color to the yellow, a blue band around the head and a grey head. I think the SFs are prettier than the DFs myself, He is a beauty :!:
You will get double factor chicks from this pair :D
