I love the appearance of 'grey' heads. The YTB is a bonus! =D>

I'm starting to really love the gray heads too. I didn't care for them in the beginning, but they are winning me over. I just love my new male, and I would LOVE one day to have a Gray headed pastel male =P~ :)

I LOVE dilutes. My male, Lil Red, is a dilute and I think he's just gorgeous. I also love the black heads and the way they look grey on a dilute bird. Yours are stunning!

Wish I could find a black-headed male around here!

I love my Gouldians, parrot finch and quail!

No two different but love both the same

The lighter one has gorgeous coloring on his wings

He also shows the blue coming up on his head and has a girlfriend now :wink:
