I wanted to breed with these birds, but now I think they are different species...

OR

It could be that they are still young...

Not sure, but most of the time the male and female does look different, post some pictures that will help a lot.

Okay, they are only a few months old and my male has a lot of yellow, about half his wing and my female (older than male) has only a little yellow on her wings, maybe the first row of feathers... I will take pictures later and add them tonight.

Hi Lillypod, the one that you say is a male sounds like a Sun to me. As for the one you say is a female not sure how old it is but Jendays tend to have almost no yellow on their wings. I breed pied Suns as well as normals. The pieds tend to have yellow on their wings from the time they start pinning out, also their primary flights are yellow. If your flights are blue then they should be normals and if they are more or less the same age the amount of yellow should be the same. A picture of the female will help me to check for you.
