Hi everyone -

 

These are some pics of two of my babies. Mother was opaline mauve and father is visual violet.

 

Here are 2 pics of the first baby - I have no idea what colour mutation he is - I have googled for pics - I'm not sure if he's a slate???? Probably not I know but ..... I have no idea :hap:

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some pics of the second one - also no idea.

 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of the recessive from the same lot

 

 

:hap:

Gorgeous colors

 

1. baby is a mauve which means he has 2 dark factors

2. violet could be double factor because so dark

3. is a violet looks recessive pied possible double factor dominant pied (I hold my vote on the pied part)

Thanks Elly :hap: - The cheekpatches on the first two, I forgot to point out but you've probably noticed, are almost like a navy blue - they're really dark.

 

I think the colours are amazing

Yes that is the one of the indicator for violet so maybe your mauve baby is carrying the violet gene too. Merlin's are very navy and dark too he is a violet but not as dark. If you look at Merlin in my siggy you can see the coloration is similar to your babies but again not as dark, it is like a jean material coloration (that is how I describe it). There are different shades of violet.

 

here is a picture of Merlin now you can see his cheek patches are dark , excuse his molting condition he is a bit scruffy

He's beautiful Elly,

 

Yes, it is a jean material colour :hap:

 

Here is a picture of the father. I may have shown him to you before (excuse if I have)

 

 

 

He's a much richer and lighter colour than the babies. Will try get a picture of Mum.

Yeah, he is quite purple. Here is a picture of Mum

 

 

and here is a picture of Dad and 2 babies. Dad looks blue in this one.

 

 

The babies have just started to leave the nest - I think Mum has just kicked them out - she's started to lay again so it's going to be pretty crowded in there :hap:

she is gorgeous I would say she is a dark mauve

again beautiful babies and parents.

congrats.

The first two babies are mauves of varying shades and the pied baby is a violet. :hap:

they are gorgeous.

I dont know if this is a stupid question but could the second one and the mother be darkwings??? Their black on the wings seems so intense??

I think they are well marked and the pattern is normal

they are gorgeous.

I agree with Elly, they are normals

Thanks Kaz and Elly.

 

I am only going to start putting the rest of my birds down now as I wanted to make sure the new ones were all 100% healthy. Marlony, I also noticed the black wings. The markings are very intense - I think somehow the mauve brings out the black or makes it appear somehow darker (if black could be darker (Laughing out loud)). But yes, they are normals I belive.

 

Thanks again for all your comments

I think they are beautiful. Sometimes it can be harder to tell with the young ones as they don't always obtain their full colour until they have gone through their first moult.

 

 

Feathers.

Edited May 26, 200718 yr by feathers

very stunning. I believe they are mauves with the violet gene turning the colour darker and richer.

Very interesting & very dark, like Feathers said, it will be interesting to see what they look like after their moult.

The most amazing thing has happened.

 

The second bugie has gone the most amazing violet I've ever seen.

 

Here is a photo to show her tail end. Also on her chest the feathers coming through are violet.

 

It may show up blue but you can see the intensity.....

 

 

The colour is stunning !! You got a double dose of dark factors with those parents

gorgeous, I love rumps (Laughing out loud) because this is really where the color is intense on most birds. Kaz's Steel in his picture of his backend is gorgeous.

Kaz's birds are gorgeous.
