Two of the PF almost look lutino.. Do you have lutino BFPF or RTPF?? The two goulds look like Green Backs.

All of the parents are normal parrot finches dante, but i was wondering if those two were lutino or just normal. I have never had parrot finches before so i dont know what they are suppost to look like.

I think the two light colored PFs are definitely Lutino, congrats!! Pied don't look like this they look pretty much the same as normals.

One of your gouldians looks normal and the other gives the appearance of being blue or pastel but it is hard to tell from the pictures since I can't see it's mouth markings and it is sorta hidden beneath the PF chicks :)

Yes i lost one baby. The other one could be blue the father is a bb and the mother is gb, I didn't know if she was split blue or not. I am very excitied for the lutino's now i will have to find split lutino males for them. They should be females right?
