Yes thats right. Alot of Greens are split Blue.

I've got a pair of blues and a pair of greens no idea what the parents to all these birds were, so I could expect anything from the babies? I wasnt going to breed the greens as I thought I would only get green, I have breed my two yellows and I'm asuming will only get yellow? bit hard to tell at the moment as they are bauld and blind but so cute and so fat they just lay on their backs to fat to roll over when do they start getting feathers?

It can always be a surprise. You should be able to tell the colours at about 3 to 4 weeks. The wing feathers come through first. If they have red eyes chances are they will be Yellow like the parents, assuming the parents are Lutinos. If the parents are both split Blue then you may get a white.

Even a Green pair can throw a few different Colours depending on what they are split too.

Wow thanks for that would love a white one, yes my yellow ones are lutinos with red eyes.
