Re: a pair of new gouldians...
Pictures are a bit on the yellow side so it's hard to tell but they both look like hens to me on this end. A BH and a YH it seems.
congratulations

Re: a pair of new gouldians...
thanks guys. debbie276- i'll try to post better pictures later today with a better camera.
@cronista26- i was informed they are not related. they have different leg bands.
both to me seem like a black head, with one a lilac breast and the other a purple breast female. i could be wrong of course...

Re: a pair of new gouldians...
I would say the one with the red tipped beak is a BH and the one with the yellow tipped beak is a BH YTB which makes it genetically a YH

finchandlovebird@cindy@Perfex@Sunbay- thanks for viewing!
@debbie276-YTB= yellow tip beak, correct? thanks for the input! im hoping to pair them with split to blues dilute black head males (SFY) and hopefully get some yellows, normals and blue offspring!
