Yellow gouldian tail feather colour

Post by finchman101 » Tue Jul 12, 2011 8:53 pm

Does everyone know how the normal gouldian tail just before it pokes out is blue???
Well I have a query with the yellow back one would be because normally it's just a clear yellow but the one I have is a purple blue colour and I find it very odd as none of my other yellows have it.
He's definitely double factor not single factor yellow other wise he'd be dilute. Could he be split blue as well if he's tail is a blue purple colour????
Can someone please help me understand this, will post up pics later.. :D thanks.

Pictures would help but I can tell you the color varies, you'll see more color on a SF yellow, and more color on a DF yellow that is purple breasted vs one that is lilac or white breasted..
