A mutation inherited through hybridization with Misty Pacific Parrotlets, Misty Spectacled Parrotlets are a darker olive-green with slightly duller blue markings across the face, wing edges, and rump compared to wild-types. These effects intensify in birds with two Misty genes, known as DFs, compared to those with one. The variety has been produced by multiple

As in all Misty mutations, these colors only intensify in birds with two mutant genes (DFs). The variety may be synonymous with “Dark Factor”, a variety described and established in Europe – the same place where Misty
A rare and likely unestablished mutation in Black-winged Lovebirds, Dilute results in a highlighter-yellow bird with silver wing edges and a red bill. The crown is either red or yellow depending on the bird’s sex; Males have the former, females have the latter. Given its gray feet and black eyes, Dilute is difficult to mix

The bill and eyes are red while the feet are pink. It’s unclear where in the world the variety was discovered, though
Lutino Eastern Bluebonnets are a now-extinct variety that was first discovered in Australia. Using the provided image, we know that they were mostly yellow with red wing patches and white across the face and flight feathers. Depending on the bird’s subspecies, varying amounts of red could be expected on the thighs and vent. The eyes
First discovered in the US, Blue Blue-crowned Conures are a very rare or possibly extinct color mutation. Birds of this variety are fully blue with a slightly darker head and light gray or whitish undertail feathers. Given the age of the featured photo and a lack of any news on this variety in recent times,
