An A. yellowface albino next to an A. yellowface cinnamon stepsibling. The mother of the latter is behind them.

I like the cinnamon the most (75% André Goossens blood). Same dad as the light green I posted a picture of on March 9 (their mothers are sisters).

The albino will probably be useful too (>80% Silva blood). For starters it's a hen and that's a very good reason to be in the expanding breeding team. Quality wise it's not too bad either (will become better then her mother in my opinion). And thirdly it's fairly unrelated to the '75% André Goossens'-birds that seem to become the core of my stud. I can't keep inbreeding heavily with those so I need some new outcross cocks and a few less related own bred hens.

The Australian yellowface in both birds can be traced back to the same 2008 pair: Silva cock (GOc) x partnership Heylen hen (VAYF). I don't have many birds not descending from that pair (excluding the outcrosses obviously).
