Two Chinese philosophers were walking over a bridge . . .
One said to the other: "Look at those fish; how happy they are."
"You are not a fish," replied the other, "how can you know that they are happy?"
"You are not me." said the first . . "How can you know that I do not know?"

Check this out. Is this true?casehulsebosch wrote: ↑13 Jul 2017, 17:23 Gouldian head colours.
Based on the research of Dr.SaraH Pryke. (SaraH with an H)
The red head is the dominant colour.
Research by Sarah has shown that red heads prefer to choose a partner of the same head colour.
Only when this is not achievable does the red head go for the black head.
The female Gouldian can also determine the sex of the offsprings.
Unless people can prove otherwise I am going with Sarah.
But maybe I am a little bias. I call her a friend.
cheers, case

Thanks GouldianGuy. That is certainly an unfortunate development. It is, however, a different study to the research regarding partner selection being influenced by head colour. Were you confusing the two studies when you made your original comment, or is there further evidence of "problematic data" regarding the head colour selection study too? I'm not trying to interrogate you; I simply want to know which manuscripts I can ignore and which I can consider "legit".GouldianGuy wrote: ↑14 Jul 2017, 23:30
