Have recently had 5 gouldians come out of their nest only to find one is completely white with green/grey feathers on it's back. Can anyone help explain what this is?
Parents are RH Purple breast male, OH Purple breast female.

Can you explain if the adults are normal looking or have white bibs or yellow feathers in the back of the head,if they have they are split Australian yellows.If they haven't they could be be split Australian Dilutes. Craig

The only thing different with the parent birds are the female has a white patch under her bottom beak and her purple breast is very light. I am quite sure her mother was a BH White breasted green backed goudian and a OH (yellow) Purple Breasted Male.
