Hi,
What colour do you think these fledglings will turn out to be - one came out quite yellow and another a bit lighter and also 2 greys.

All 4 fledglings going well, eating on their own and still being fed every now and then by the parents.

Was so surprised when they came out the nest, been googling like crazy.
Didn't realise any of the new birds I purchased were split to blue, was planning on breeding just the regulars. Will be a long wait for their first moult - still very pleased :D

The yellowish one just looks like a normal (or split blue) young male with decent colour traits.

Guys,

Unless I have missed something where does the "Blue" something come into this post? Was it he purchases something "split to blue" unknowingly? How is a "blue" identified so early?

Ken, the two grey backed young ones are blues. This is how you identify them, they will moult out into blue backed gouldians, and yes she has purchased a pr of split to blue gouldians unknowingly with this result. Craig

Ok she now :D :wave:
