Lilac Sebastopol Geese

Lilac is generally described as the dilute of buff, the way lavender is the dilute of grey. The result is a very pale, pinkish grey bird and one of the scarcer colours in the breed.

Availability. We are not running lilac at the moment, so there is nothing to order on this page today. What we do have is lavender, buff, grey and more, all on the geese page. If lilac is specifically what you want, say so and we will tell you if it is coming.

Lilac is easy to mistake for a washed out buff in strong sun, and the two are regularly swapped in listings. The distinguishing feature is the pink cast: a lilac reads pinkish grey where a buff reads warm tan.

Because it sits two dilutions away from the ancestral grey, lilac needs both parents to carry the right genetics, which is most of why so few birds exist. It is one of the two or three colours people genuinely wait years for.

We are not running blue, lilac, splash at the moment. Those pages explain the colours and what we would suggest instead.

Before ordering, the care guide covers what these birds need, shipping explains how they travel, and the FAQ answers cost, noise and temperament. Buying to breed? Read breeding and sexing.
