Have a question I know my gouldian is a WB ,but do you call his head red even though it's really orange ? Thank you for the infooration ahead of time.

Looks Yellow Headed (Orange) to me. Red on this mutation really does look red.

Barbara

He would be called Yellow Head (eventhough his head color is orange).

Fyi ... RedHead gouldians have a red tipped beak ... YellowHead have a yellow tipped beak
Looks like a beautiful YellowHead. WhiteBreast. Single Factor Pastel
Best of luck

debbie276 wow I didn't know that his beak really isn't red it actually matches his head.I just thought that on a yellow back the head and beak were a lighter red so it looked more orange same as beak.I just turned 63 and your never to old to learn something new. Thanks Debbie

Your very welcome
Best of luck with him, he's gorgeous!

wilkifam thank-you for information can I ask you on a female RH LB Yellow will the beak stay red? Does it get darker when she is ready to breed?thanks again

lovezebs thank-you for the information didn't know that.who would of thought that orange is yellow not red in the wonderful rainbow of gouldian's

Wait 'till you get into all the splits, the double factor, single factor, sex linked, recessive, autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, what they can express and what they can't, alleles, incomplete dominant, chromosomes, phenotype, etc.etc. etc.......

It's absolutely mind boggling, and I don't understand how anyone can remember all that stuff. I just go PRETTY BIRD.....bdeh bdeh bdeh, that's all folks .

lovezebs I will never get it either,not sure I would ever breed again I have 10 gouldians and the problem with me is I can't sell any ? Hubby made the stress perches for me 3 of them and I am hoping I can get them all in either one cage or two (double F030) right now there spread out in 5 different cages

Barbara

Why can't you sell any?

lovezebs what else I love them

Barbara

Not to get off the subject, but those stress perches are very nice !!! Your hubby did a great job !! It looks like your little guys are liking them !!!

lem2bert they do I have one in three of my cages(not society) I had him make them more for gouldians want them to get use to them for when I try to put all males in one and females in another.I think Fred(the one in the picture)and Ethel like it the most I think they want it to have a bottom to nest

Barbara

Get hubby to make more of them and sell them to all the bird lovers on Amazon
