These two are not mine but I'd like to know what they are and any comments on their sex and quality. I have my own thoughts but would like others (particularly the Gouldian nutters) to express an opinion please. The owner shall remain anonymous.

Sam nice birds. I'm not a gouldian nut like some others so I won't comment what I think as I'm probably wrong.

I would agree about the hen part and they need some attention to build them up.I would only guess and say euro.

the black head bird looks AY to me, cant comment on the other bird, i think the differences between aus yellow and euro yellow had to do with the neck colours???????? ( bh bird has all white), where as other bird as blue ring around neck.

Once more you encourage you to keep their young
That they seem more older than what they told you.

Good Luck!
