Hi Craig,
....you know how technology and those old Gouldian breeders don't normally mix too well

Boom Boom Craig

I have to say ,after seeing Flav's birds last weekend,those photo's do him no favors ,his birds are great and getting better every year ,garyh

Congratulations on your successes Flavio. I will probably not be converted to those that don't have much in the way of bright colours, but I appreciate the skill required to produce them. However that black and white one is impressive visually Am I correct in thinking that it is a silver aussie yellow?

I think the name people are trying to get going is the Aussie Blue.

Although going on who Aussies call blue the bird should be covered in red feathers!

Hi FB,

The combination of the blue and AY is referred to as Aussie Yellow Blue (AYB)...we are all trying to keep the name uniform to avoid confusion.

Today a friend of mine was looking at my birds....he is not a bird person, but was visiting and was interested in having a look. The AYB was the standout bird in his eyes as he described it as the most majestic looking of all my Gouldians. So the photos we have posted of the AYB most definitely do not do the bird any justice....it is a much prettier bird in the flesh.

Cheers
Paul

Love it Diane,how many reds out there ,now if it could happen,only joking ,garyh
