Potentially the first color mutation found in Green-rumped Parrotlets, Dilute was first discovered by Cerise Duran in the US. Birds of this variety are yellow-green with lighter color towards the forehead and belly, and a pale bluish color on the wing edges of males. The eyes are black while the feet and bill are pink.
The Melanistic variety of Australian Ringneck can only be found in the Cloncurry subspecies on the Australian continent. They have blackish coloration across their head, neck, back, wings, and tail – often leaving their blue cheeks, blue wing edges, and yellow-orange belly unaffected. Based on birds that have been labeled as “splits”, it’s likely that
First bred by Australian breeder Gordon Dosser in 1990, Fallow Rock Parrots are slightly lighter and more yellow-brown than wild-types. Their blue forehead and wing edges are paler, their feet are pink, and their eyes are red even into adulthood. While the variety was once called “Cinnamon”, this latter trait separates it from true Cinnamons
An incredibly rare or potentially extinct variety, Faded Blue-winged Parrots were first discovered in Australia and called “Cinnamon” before they were found to have an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. The variety has is a lighter brownish yellow with slightly paler blue across the forehead and wing edges. The feet are pink while the eyes
A very rare hybrid given how uncommon Vinaceous Amazons are in captivity, it’s possible that no more than three of these birds have ever been bred. All three appear to be mostly green with a yellowish crown, a green or blue-green chin, turquoise flight feathers, and a mixed gray and horn-colored bill as juveniles. Like
Originally inherited through hybridization with Fischer’s Lovebirds, Graywing Nyasa Lovebirds are somewhat rare color variants that differ visually based on how many gene copies they have. While SFs have a slightly lighter green/blue body color with yellowish or grayish streaking over the wings, DFs are significantly lighter-colored. The flight feathers of the prior are a
Gray-green, sometimes known as Olive, is a relatively new mutation in Sun Conures that results in darker, army-green wings with black flight and tail feathers. Like wild-type Sun Conures, young birds naturally have more dark green plumage than adults. The variety is sometimes bred with Red Factor or Pied for more visual diversity. At least
Gray-green Jenday Conures are interesting birds with dark army-green wing and tail feathers alongside the species’ typical yellows, reds, and oranges. The flight feathers, tail tip, bill, and feet are dark gray to black. However, rather than emerging in Jendays, the gene was transferred to the species through hybridization with Sun Conures. Breeders will continue
Sapphire is an emerging mutation in Fischer’s Lovebirds with an interesting and somewhat controversial history. It was first recorded in 2013 by WM Birds South Africa, a breeder who noticed that some of his birds differed from Aquas and AquaBlues in both appearance and inheritance. After performing more test breeds, he discovered that the Blue
Likely the most common of all four fallow varieties in Maroon-bellied Conures, Pale Fallows are golden-yellow birds with red accents on their forehead, belly, and tail. Their wings and upper tail feathers are green, their flight feathers are silvery, and their ears are pinkish. Lastly, their bill and feet are pink while and their eyes
