On the way down to Melbourne I stumbles across some very cheap AY splits from a local dealer and thought I would collect a couple.

They looked ok and I still have them in isolation in case but being a new to white breasted birds I wasnt sure of the sex of the WB in the pics below.

Any takers?I am thinking rooster as I am for the PB?

White Breast is Cock bird and Purple Breast is Hen bird

Happy to be wrong as I haven't kept Gouldians for a while but the Yellow-head looks like a cock and the Black-headed looks to me more like a Lavender fronted cock than a hen.

Black head's definitely a hen.
