Aussie Finch Forum

Hello,
this is my first post outside of my intro post...and I would love some input as to what you may think I have on my hands here.

I know he's a gould, but after that I'm a little lost. He really caught my eye and I didnt look too closely at colour, besides making sure he was healthy, before I bought.
Since I first had goulds when I was a teen (not too long ago) there were not as many mutations around as there are now, I swear! I thought he might be yellow-backed but then he's not all yellow at all. Im hoping that he's an orange head (looking promising)





Thanks for any input!

Wow,how did you get those great big pics on this forum??
Its looking like an Australian Dilute to me. Craig

Definitely a yellow-headed. The mutation is either recessive dilute (as Craig said) or double-factor European yellow-back.

I don't know what happened,but last night those two pics were huge now their small???

The pictures are HUGE!

How did you get them so big?

Sorry, are they too big? I read the size limit and resized them on photobucket to what I thought was the right size?

Glad to hear your suggestions re. Colour, thank you!!

No no no! Not too big. Just perfect!

I can't get mine that big, but would love to.

For some reason, there is a very small size limit on the upload of pics. So I have had to downsize the pics I have wanted to post and you can hardly see them. I wish I could get mine to look like yours.

So you used photobucket huh?

Might give that a go and see what happens.

Thank you

They were big photos now they have shrunk in size.Like your Gouldian

The size for pics on the forum is 640 x 480. If you right click on a pic on your computer it should give you an option to resize.

We would prefer pics to be loaded directly to the forum rather than using a program like photobucket. Sometimes the pics are removed from the album by the album owner and when that happens it leaves the forum with a blank space saying "This photo is longer available"

All the photos in this topic are 640 x 480 and posted directly from my computer to the forum and are of good size.

To me this Bird looks more like a AY and not like an AD, not enough green in the Wings to be a Australian Dilute but,let it moult out completely to be identified with certainty, also the Breast colouring does not fit an AD but, this could just be a variation, Time holds all the answers,keep us posted.
