Here is some resent pictures of hybrids that was shared from a brid show in Europe.
Interesting although the colour schemes are not my cup of tea, looking forward to seeing more hybrids in the future.

Agree with your guesses on 1 and 3, but two has the look of a Zeb round the face. Have to agree that none of them are a pinch on what nature started out with.

Sorry I'm not too sure.finchbird2015 wrote:Hi Blue Cuban is that last bird a Gouldian? what are the rest?
At a guess I would say they are a mix of diamonds, double bars, plum-heads possibly zebs and maybe orange waxbill.
Like I said I'm only guessing but I'm sure the "A Team" (admins) would have a more educated guess.

Diamonds and Zeb's are close relatives, l wonder if this cross is fertile and began the fawn and pied diamond from cross backs,just a thought imo. Craigvettepilot_6 wrote:Yep found a pic of diamond x zeb....pic number 2 is that

The Pieds were developed in Australia from Diamonds showing just a couple of stray white feathers & established from them without hybrids.
There are also 2 types of fawns in Diamonds, autosomal recessive & sex-linked (probably actually fawn and cinnamon). The sex-linked is the established one (most common). The recessive one looks slightly more attractive with retained black areas without dilution but is still quite rare. I know that the recessive one at least is from mutated pure Diamond stock.
