Hi
Pictures are too small, particularly the first one. You should be able to load them so that they appear smaller but when clicked on get bigger, I think :wtf: :crazy: :D
Cheers

I'd have to agree with garyh. RH WB looks like a fine male and the Bh Wb looks to have a tinge of black coming though on the bill and slightly lighter colouring on the stomach. :thumbup:

1st picture cock, second hen. If I was buying that is what I would pay for. Dead giveaway is yellow color.

Just me.

Hi, you are doing two things wrong here, Firstly, post in the Australian finches forum in...... Gouldian.

Two, you need to resize your pic to 640 x 380 then upload to the forum.

For viewers on a PC, click on the pic hold control and tap + to enlarge and - back Craig

Hi Jugleong,

Nice looking birds... :thumbup:
I believe the green back is a hen and with a closer look I think the yellow bird is a definite cock but it's a lilac breast SF, there appears to be some grey and blue under the chin.
