Yellow Back, Red Faced, Purple Chest Gouldians

Post by MattMlt » Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:52 pm

Hi Guys

I just got a Yellow back, red faced, purple chested gouldian and the shop owner told me that it's definitely a female, but from her colours i'm not really sure it's a female, can you please post some pics of how the above colored females should look like please ? in the mean time i'll take some photos of the bird in question. Cause her face is quite dark red and her chest is not dark purple but not that faint either.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a picture of a Red Head but I do have a Yellow Head one if that will help at all.
