Hi,
What colour do you think these fledglings will turn out to be - one came out quite yellow and another a bit lighter and also 2 greys.
Pic of parents and one of the greys The very yellow fledgling All 4 fledglings going well, eating on their own and still being fed every now and then by the parents.

Well done, you have definitely bred two blues. The yellowy one is a mystery though,maybe a lime. Craig

Was so surprised when they came out the nest, been googling like crazy.
Didn't realise any of the new birds I purchased were split to blue, was planning on breeding just the regulars. Will be a long wait for their first moult - still very pleased

The yellowish one just looks like a normal (or split blue) young male with decent colour traits.

One of the ? blue fledglings looks to be a male - already trying to sing

Guys,

Unless I have missed something where does the "Blue" something come into this post? Was it he purchases something "split to blue" unknowingly? How is a "blue" identified so early?

Ken, the two grey backed young ones are blues. This is how you identify them, they will moult out into blue backed gouldians, and yes she has purchased a pr of split to blue gouldians unknowingly with this result. Craig

Ok she now
