I ordered "normals"....BH Female and OH Male...

The female, Gilda, is 9 months old. The Male, OJ, is 15 months old. Does it look like she is going through a molt or does she have some "pied" or other mutation causing the spots on her head?

She just didn't finish her first molt. With this years molt she should complete her adult colors. Sometimes they get "stuck" in a molt. Causes could be anything from drop in temperature, diet fluctuations, shortness of daylight, a move, or any kind of stress.

Looks like she never finished her molt like Candace said. Your male looks to be a Single Factor Yellow on my monitor.

Very pretty, I like the male! Others have answered, but yes a moult. Is she lilac breast?

Thanks all - I was wondering why his back was kind of "washed out"...

@Dante - I think she will be lilac.

On a good note: I have received a "hall pass" to go to ATL this weekend!!!!!

Congrats on your new additions.

BTW, I like your color scheme for your bird list in your signature.
