Blue back is a ressesive gene. What that means is if you breed a blue back to a green back all of those chicks will show visual green back but then they will be split to blue back “or they cart the blue back gene” if you take those chicks that are split to blue back and breed them back to another blue back gouldian then half of their chicks will be visually green back split to blue and the other half will be visual blue back. In general the blue back mutation is a weaker mutation and tend to get illness easier.
Yes there are a couple of seed recycling options on the market there are also a couple of seed containers that help to reduce seed waste. I have posted a couple videos on this. Scroll back a couple years on my videos and you should be able to see them.
My Gouldian success is all due to you , 4 young ones flying around ! Cheers from this Aussie in China!
So awesome to hear. Keep up the good work.
Great video Chris! Good to see your successful breeding season!
Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks for watching
What part of Utah are you at? I’m in Idaho didn’t know if you would sell some birds to me and I could pick them up?
Yes what birds are you looking for?
@@birdnerdYellow, white, or red factor canaries
What is the pearl morvite? Never heard of it.
Yeah it’s called perle morbide. It is a substitute to soaked seed and a good option for breeding birds.
Me and 7 canaries made the first comment, last year there were only 2. Successful breeding 🙂
That's awesome! Thank you!
What happens if a green back gouldian breeds with a blue back Gouldian? What color are babies?
And are bluebacks less hardy compared to greenbacks?
