Fawn not cinnamon then. Hard to tell from the pics. But that's what it's about, breeding and observing till you know. Congratulations.

After 12 months or so of outcrossing the coloured birds to a number of bloodlines of normals (including some outstanding Aussie finch breeder stock), I have finally bought a pair of the "lot less related" birds together. In the first clutch these were two of the young produced
What is different is that all previous fawns bred (whether they survived or not) were dark chested regardless of sex. One of the two shown in the pictures is extremely light all over - time will tell I guessYou do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Nice work Gary. The pale bird is very interesting indeed, even I can't wait to see how it turns out, you must be jumping out of your skin with impatience!!

Gary Gday, as the origanal breeder of those,you will find the lighter breast coloured bird will be a hen the other a cock. As you know,they are recessive,the same as the australian dilute gouldian,When i had them,it was the head,back,wings and tail that went to pink or sandy yellow on the yellow mutation,the breast remained black not chocolate as it should be in a fawn,therefore those birds are dilute backed painteds. Cheers Craig ps keep up the good work
