What's everyone focusing their breeding efforts on in 2019?

I'm building up my numbers of normal yellow headed Gouldians. Trying to get nice big birds with clear bright light yellow heads, and consistently normal YH offspring. Secondary reason is I'm sick of the overwhelming majority of young gouldians for sale being red headed, when they're (in my opinion) the least attractive of the three standard head colours.

Focusing on all 3 head colours and good colours as well as shape..not so much size .... also pure normal rfpf WA criimsons, scarlet parrots and lineolated parrots...rest of finches are there because I just like a bit of variety

2019
Still trying to get the WA Fancy Zeb to appear. (Have been having problems with disharmony in the avairy (( hope I have solved that)) and recessive genes that insist on popping up)
