I believe a lot of euro yellows carry the dark fack also...as there is a lot of difference in individual yellow colours...🤔

Hi all, I came across this site and thread when researching blue headed gouldians. I am breeding them and noting previous questions/comments am happy to share a photo. It is the real deal and not a dodgy reproduction or ripped off another site. Curious to know how common they are atm and hearing from any other breeder who might have them. cheers.

Hi, that pic doesn't do your bird justice on my screen and just looks like a SF black hed Euro yellow cock bird. There have been many trying to reproduce a blue headed bird but they can only get close to it in black headed Euro cock birds but not hens. Most have given up on this phenomena which is not a mutation of sorts but the Euro yellow mutation produces it in some black headed birds and not others.

A few years ago there were a couple of American ladies doing great things with the "blue head" Don't know what is happening with Cando. But Nixity has gone out of Gouldians.
