What's everyone focusing their breeding efforts on in 2019?

I'm building up my numbers of normal yellow headed Gouldians. Trying to get nice big birds with clear bright light yellow heads, and consistently normal YH offspring. Secondary reason is I'm sick of the overwhelming majority of young gouldians for sale being red headed, when they're (in my opinion) the least attractive of the three standard head colours.
