Wow, interesting. Impressive colour. Any other pics of him sitting on the perch showing off the nape ?

What do you want to know about them.
I think you will find they are being developed in your own Country Sth Africa

Wow that is nice. Have never seen one with anywhere near that much yellow on the nape. See the odd one with a little bit only. Dont know of anyone who is doing anything of that sort in Aus.

Not being a true Gouldian devotee I didn't take pictures but there were a number with even bigger
yellow napes. It seemed the mutation was well established and the breeder is far better than average
breeder.

Dont know if they are being confused with the so called "yellow rump" Those are well established in SA now due to their dominant inherritance. Also saw "yellow naped" birds on the gfs auction, not sure if it is a mutation as such.
