Like Dominant Pied, Dilute is a color mutation that originated in Pacific Parrotlets before being transferred to Spectacled Parrotlets via hybridization. The mutation results in a very light-colored yellow-green bird with males having pale blue feathers around the eyes, wing edges, and rump. Combining the mutation with Turquoise and comparing it with a Turquoise Dilute
The most common mutation found in Spectacled Parrotlets, Dominant Pied first originated in Pacific Parrotlets before being transferred to the species through hybridization. Like Pacific Parrotlets, birds with this mutation are mostly green with some patches of yellow on the head, wings, and rump. Typically, these patches are small. Many breeders have independently produced hybrids
Recessive Pied is a very rare pied mutation in Moustache Parakeets that is currently undergoing development. Birds of this variety have several clear-colored primary flight feathers that are symmetrical on either wing, as well as splotches of yellow on the head and back of the neck. Currently, the markings of Recessive Pieds are less extensive
Violet is a rare mutation in Elegant Parrots that seems to have been discovered by Gert Morinsk around 2017. Birds of this variety have deeper and more intense blue on their forehead and wings, making them somewhat similar to Blue-winged Parrots – though with a thinner colored wing edge. Although pictures of confirmed DF Violets
Orange-bellied Elegant Parrots are a somewhat rare variety of parrot that have been selectively bred for more orange color over multiple generations, similar to how red has been selected for in Scarlet-chested and Turquoisine Parrots. As their name implies, this extra orange is present on the bird’s belly, as well as the face, vent, and
Violet is a rare mutation in Blue-winged Parrots that results in blue-green body color and more intense blue wing and forehead markings. These differences are somewhat more noticeable when the bird has two Violet genes (DF Violet) compared to when they only have one (SF Violet). The variety is currently found in Czechia, where it
Crosses between Black and Yellow-bibbed Lories are rare but somewhat unique among lory/lorikeet hybrids. The two pictured birds are mixed-color with a black head, maroon cheeks, a bright red belly, and a faint yellow bib. Their wings appear to be a very dark green with a demin-blue edge. Both hybrids, which may be the first
Dominant Pied is a somewhat rare mutation in Green Rosellas, which are already quite rare in captivity. The mutation was likely transferred from Yellow Crimson Rosellas, which are morphologically similar to the Green Rosella. Birds of this variety are yellow with white primary flight feathers in the SF form, with DFs are almost fully (if
Australian Ringneck x Eastern Rosella crosses are somewhat rare combinations that look very similar to Australian Ringneck x Crimson Rosellas. They have a red crown with a yellow breast, blue-green wings, and blackish flight feathers. However, their cheeks are mostly white instead of blue. Depending on the subspecies of the Australian ringneck parent, these birds
A rare hybrid that occurs occasionally in the wild, Australian ringneck x Pale-headed Rosella hybrids are pale blue-green with a lighter yellow head, white and blue cheeks, a mixed-color mantle with black, dark blue, light blue, and yellow-green feathering, and a blue-green tail. Many birds have also been described as having a red crown, especially
