Aussie Finch Forum

I just purchased a pair of black headed Australian yellows from the pet store today and I only just noticed the red bar under his breast, is it normal for yellows to have the red bar under their breast?? Ill try and post a photo up later. Thanks

There has been some discussion regarding red suffusion bar in this topic you might find interesting

ok well ive got some photos here if you wanted to have a look at it

Very nice, the chest colour is very deep too isnt it? On my computer it seems almost blue. Be interesting to see how the young colour up.

yeah ill try and get some more photos of him, he has got to be the most yellowest gouldian i have ever had and his breast was absolutely beautiful, the female i brought with him as well is very beautiful as well.

He is a nice looking cock indeed. Have you any shots of him in the aviary/cage on the perch so we can have a better look at him.

Yeah definitely I'll try and get some tomorrow if I can, that's if he stays still, If I move my head just slightlywhen I'm in the cage he'll go psycho

today i seen a white breasted cock bird with a very big standout red bar under the breast. was close to buying but the whole cage of birds did not look healthy and i did not want to risk my birds at homes health. so i had to let him slide

If you have the facilities to buy and quaranteen the white breasted for a month it could be worth it. But only if you can be sure of a safe quaranteen.
