Aussie Finch Forum

Just thought I take some close up pictures of this years young colouring up.

those birds, especially the one in the first two photos look amazing and very healthy. well done.

Well done thanks for sharing

Very nice.

I like the Australian yellow. It has great marking (fowling) on the back. Well done.

Thanks I'm really pleased with them especially the YH cock in the first two pictures, he's a really good size and split blue too.

Thanks, he's the first and only AY I have ever bred, I bought the parents in January at a sale, the hen had some fowling but the cock was split AY so I was not sure what I was going to get, they bred a couple of splits aswell so now I'm on the hunt for some more AY or AY splits to breed them with.

they are so cute. i think that BH, WC females are so brightly colored they almost look like males, my female is very bright like yours in the back of the 7th picture

Thanks for sharing Simba!
They have coloured up faster than mine have thats for sure. Some of mine have barely any chest and head colour, born march/april.
cheers

I have some born last November that have not coloured up at all and yet others born in May that are fully coloured, for some reason my second round birds have coloured up much faster than the first round
