Aussie Finch Forum

Hi everyone, does anyone know some good websites to find out more about these specific gouldians/info about the genes etc of these specific ones.

Thanks for the website. It looks great though I don't seem to have access to any articles/blogs that people talk about in the comments. Not sure how to go about getting access

The Lutino and the Albino is the same gene. It is sex linked recessive so hens can't be splits and a cock with two "ino" genes wil produce all split sons and all ino daughters when paired to a normal.

Body colour will depend on source / base colour of the bird which is the ino. Green based birds will be yellow, blue based birds already have an absence of yellow so will be white.

Cool. That's really interesting. I've been reading a lot of internet sources and a couple of books about gouldian genetics. This is by far the most interesting for me. I have also heard most are genetically weak.

Thanks for telling me this!
