Wow! I thought that the only mutation was lutino. Shame it's on the Pets 4 Homes website, be better off going to a breeder to be bred until numbers are sufficient.

Have you ever seen a lutino BFPF in the flesh?
The pied is a lovely looking bird, it would be a nice mutation to get established.

Nope, never. Just in books and on the Hawkesbury Finch Club Website.

The first pic. The birds looked melanistic. Could be due to lack of sunshine. 2nd pic nice looking bird. I think there were tri coloreds arround at one stage, but don;t know if there still are. Sure there are others better informed than I.

Being from England, these bird would of more than likely been kept inside, hence the 'melanism'
But jeez, pied tri colours, I bet they were fetching a high price

I think the tris were nice normal birds. No mutations in them.
