Red cheeked Cordon Breeding with Gouldian?

Hi everyone,
My male red cheeked cordon continues to breed with my female gouldian finch and a few days ago she laid 4 eggs. I may be wrong, the eggs may be from the male gouldian in the cage but that still does not explain why the cordon keeps breeding with her! Anyone know why this is happening?

Has your Cordon got its own mate?

I doubt if anything will come of it but i have seen a RC cordon x redbrow cross,it was the best looking WB crimson hen i have ever seen and i thought it was until i was told it was a hybrid. Craig

I've seen a clutch of Saint Helena x Melba hybrids which looked like male BB Crimsons. Best looking hybrids I've laid eyes on.

Get him his own mate if he does not have one. If he does, get them their own avairy.

Are you sure it wasn't a RC Cordon x Star hybrid? A mate has one and it's the spitting image of a WB Crimson hen.

No I haven't and I was only at his place the other day. I'll try to organise to get one.
