Black head, Purple Breast, Double Yellow Male




Orange Head, Purple Breast, Single Factor Yellow Female


Just picked them up tonight.
I so wanted another orange headed hen, but really lucked out with the black headed male! Yeah!!

Congratulations! I thought you were going to pick up some silvers?

I was, but none to be had!
He's a nice fellow but I think he is colour blind.
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.

Handsome fellows

They are lovely!!!

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

Here is a better picture of the two I took with camera.

Jerry

Cute couple.

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

Good luck with them.

Looks like they're already in love!

As you can tell I like my yellows b 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!

Jerry

Congratulations Jerry! The last picture, the male looks single factored.

Lovely birds,Congrats and fingers crossed for some blues

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
