Red Eyed Gouldian - Aus Yellow or Lutino?
Posted: 31 Aug 2014, 15:31
Hi All,
I am a little puzzled about this Gouldian chick as to what mutation it is and after some advice.
Parents are Cock RHPBsfY (Dilute) and Hen is a OHPBYB, both of these birds where brought at separate times from a pet shop and come with no history of there genetics.
In previous clutches they have hatched chicks holding white/yellow/white nodules as if it was a Aus Yellow but none of these chicks got to open there eyes before they died, they are usually last to hatch and the runt of the clutch.
With this chick doing well and appears to be the strongest out of its siblings it has now opened its eyes displaying a obvious red colour in both eyes.
Although the picture below fails to fully show the intensity of the red to its best most if not all will agree it appears to be red.
At first I was thinking it was a Aus Yellow but after reading this post viewtopic.php?f=105&t=7383 and the fact it has red eyes im a little unsure.
Do Aus Yellows have red eyes?
Any idea people?
