I agree with Peter, the one at the front in the bottom pic is a male and the one at rear is a female. The male is about 7/8th 28 and the female is about 1/2 to 3/4 28. The babies should in theory have much less yellow in the belly. Almost all the wild ones here in Perth have some port lincon mix in the bloodlines, it is very hard to find pure 28 parrots now.

Those are some good pictures, The hen 28 there is lighter lime colour under the belly but notice the lack of yellow. I think that when you breed your 2 together you will end up with birds that are very close to the pure 28 looking bird.

Silvercloud is it a cock or a hen ?
Looking at the photo it has NO yellow in its chest at all !!!
If this is true cock 28 are you interested in selling him at all ?

Mark he's going to live with Bel, sorry. He has no yellow at all on his belly. The pic doesn't show it well but he has a black head so is a cock. Can't get any closer with the phone cam as he's a bit nervous of people being a wild one.
