Thats it... we are a country town (although they call it a city)... right in the middle of Western Australia's milk producing region. Always lots of rats around cows!
Bird shows and swap meets are bad...

Our Finches and our poodle supply me with an never ending amount of therapy for my stress related depression. Sitting there, throwing the ball for the dog while watching the finches is the best thing ever.

Yay, pictures!!!
Your Orange head Gouldi boy, looks exactly like one of my kids
Your girl....
Whoa there! Holy Crow, I've never seen anything like that before.... Is that her actual colour, or is she molting?
Regarding Parrot Finches and photos...
Either they are constantly on the move
so that you can't snap a picture.... or they are right into the camera, going 
yoo hoo, whatcha got there? so that you still can't snap a picture 
Rats!
Please tell me that they are something like these

I have noticed that with the parrot finches... constantly on the move. I think that I really need a much larger aviary for them to live in.
And as for the girl... thats her actual colouring. As Babs showed in the post after yours... they look really weird and are quite rare. And damned cute... I am hoping that these two get it on and make a few more for me.
And no... I don't think that this rat we have running around is quite that cool...

Hi Mark,
So how on earth do you get these half siders when you're breeding? And when she breeds for you, how do you know what colour the kids will be? Or will they come out like mom?
If your rats are not like the rats in the picture Mark,
GET THE SHOVEL!!! LET THE TERRIERS LOOSE!!!

Re: Bird shows and swap meets are bad...
Half siders don't breed true, they're chimeras; two embryos (or egg cells?) which fuse into a single bird early in development. Sometimes one half is male and one is female - probably happens more often than we know, but it's not obvious except in species with different color morphs, or which are sexually dimorphic.
Very beautiful though usually.
It happens in other animals too - cats and butterflies, among others.
