Aussie Finch Forum

I have posted before how I have been getting mystery yellow babies in my aviary of 7 pairs of Gouldians. Of those, 10 are normal and 4 are yellow (possibly a combo of Sex linked yellow and Aus Yellow). Anyway, it's happened again! I have found a pair of yellow babies in a nest to a pair of normal parents. This makes it 3 different pairs of normals to have yellow offspring. Now either 1 of my yellow males is having fun with 3 different hens or my normals are disguising yellow (which I doubt). These yellows look a bit darker though. The wings already look a golden/brown colour, not creamy white like my other yellow babies. Anyway, time will tell what they will look like when they fledge. This is half the fun hey!

Its odd hey?? Youll have to post some photos of them once they fledge.

Hi Cran,
from your description it is likely that they will both be single factor males.

hI cranberry...i agree with polar gouldian...sounds like you have some PB single factor males in your flock...can you post a pic of one of these males that have yellow babies in the nest...cheers, Paul

So what is the difference in a yellow and a aus yellow? Could someone post a photo showing the difference?
