Australian yellow

[Brett]

Hi everyone
its harvey again
(bretts son)

just wondering what 2 types (colours) of gouldian would you need to breed an Australian yellow.
I think they are the best looking bird that you can breed and also, how much do they cost in NSW.


thanks
Harvey

hi i breed aussie yellows as well as european yellows you can have any colour of gouldian to breed aussie yellow as long as their split, but id prefer to buy them just as an aussie yellow. my aussie yellows cost me $120 a pair but can be up to $180 a pair

[Brett]

what do u mean by split

[TheFinchMan101]

well they look like a normal gouldian but have the australian yellow gene in them meaning their offspring my turn out like an australian yellow, but you need both parents to have the australian yellow gene in them for their babies to turn out like that

[Brett]

how do u know if they have the gene in them
or do you just have to be lucky

[TheFinchMan101]

Well yeah kind of unless one of Their parents is a Aussie yellow and one is a normal but has the gene in it then you'll definitely it's split. Do you plan on getting Aussie yellows or splits??

[Brett]

not sure
but they are very expensive

i would love to get a pair
can u please send me some pics of yours

also have 1 coloured up young gouldian (red head-purple breast) and 3 that haven't quite coloured up yet.
