Aussie Finch Forum

Ive worked out i have a green split turq split lutino or s green split lutino cock bird.

The two young fledged bright yellow lutinos the ither day.

Gonna get some more now!

Babies finally fledged and independent.

Next nest has started with two eggs.

As per above

That went well. Hopefully they can do another 2 successfully, or more. Now might be a good time to try a few extras, while the young are curious, and just might get a taste for something.

Done!

I have added to their diet and they have taken the bait.

I am hopeful this will improve their nutrition as the parents eat very little though they are on a finch mix seed diet and have started back on the apples.

just checked the nest, I have 2 in the nest and a possible 3rd viable egg.

its hard to tell but the skin colour and down is different, looks line a possible ino with a green or blue bird.

Update

It looks like I have 2 normal's and a possible creamino.........the genes my two seemingly normal linnies carry must be quite diverse.

One more pic

Can't say you are not getting variety in the family.

doing well. I had plans to buy 5 pairs but when my first pair lutino and split had 2 lots of clear eggs I aborted the project and went back to the gouldians....lol
I may have a crack at them again...but not just yet
