What color would you guess? Gould babies XD

Post by Meagan83 » Fri Jun 15, 2012 10:10 am

Here are the parents.
Razzle Dazzle, and Hitomi.
Razzle Dazzle is a Dilute and split for blue. Hitomi is split for blue also.

Here are the babies. I am not sure if the other will hatch. It may be a dud. This is Hitomi's first clutch. They started feeding immediately which made me so happy. :YMAPPLAUSE:

What do you guys think you see? I believe one is carrying blue in some way. Blue, Pastel, Silver??? The other looks maybe Yellow or Dilute??? Not sure. Just wanted some opinions. I love surprises :D

Something with blue, something without - without seeing the mouth markings clearly it's impossible to tell exactly what either are, though.

Hitomi is definitely glaring at you in those last photos. :lol: I can't even guess at their colors with my little experience so.... whatever Tiffany says! :mrgreen:

They are BEAUTIFUL birds.
