Yellow-headed / orange-headed (wild-type)
A variant of Gouldian finch (Chloebia gouldiae)
Representative Gouldian finchphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The rarest natural head color, where a recessive factor turns what would be a red mask into a soft orange-yellow. Scarce in the wild and correspondingly valued by breeders.
Keeper tips for this variant
This is the red mask without the red pigment, so it can't be 'fed' brighter — care matches the others; keep the same warm, mite-free, draft-free setup.
