The Male is definately a Tripple (possibly double) Red Cacatuoide, but its hard to say for the females?

Can I just be clear... There are two females there aren't there? I'm struggling to see from the pics, as they are very small?

Ideally, we could do with clear pics of the females, including fins. The colouration of the fins can help assertain which form it is? Females can be difficult to tell though!

Regards
G!

Yes 2 females. I can't get the pictures any bigger. I tried but it didn't work, sorry. I am thinking that the bottom 1 is a hybrid.

Hybrid (cross between 2 different species) or cross between 2 different color strains? I can't tell due to the quality of the photos. The male is a good Double Red (or very poor Triple Red) color strain.

Pictures seem to get blurry when I get up close. Meant cross between the red Apistos and the Orange flash, for under her belly the color is yellow and the body is similar to the male's.

Here is another try at picture of 2nd female, Esther.
