Posted August 24, 200816 yr Hi these are my friends birds they are mother and son, and she wanted to know there colours so I told her I could help.
August 25, 200816 yr well they are both pieds, and although difficult to tell, I would say that they are recessive pieds, unless theya re both too young to have developed the tell tale iris rings. One on the left looks like a yellow face type 2 sky blue recessive pied hen One on the right looks dilute mauve recessive pied cock. Any shots of their wings?

Any shots of their wings? nope there my friends in america but i could ask her for you
August 25, 200816 yr They're both dominant pieds and not mother and son, they're both the same age. The one on the left is a Yf2 cobalt dominant pied who has another mutation mixed in as her body colour is diluted alot. The one on the right is a violet/mauve dominant pied, again would need back photo's to tell you exactly.
August 25, 200816 yr The bird on the left is a type 2 yellow face dominant pied sky blue. The bird on the right is a dominant pied cobalt. The difference between pied types shows in the way that the pied pattern is distributed Edited August 25, 200816 yr by Neville
August 25, 200816 yr I could not see any iris rings, thus the recessive guesses. I am thinking they are both very young
August 25, 200816 yr Can't always go by iris rings, Agree with Neville, it's the patterning on the Body that shows it. Same as you get Dominant pieds that don't have clearflights but are still classed as one.
August 25, 200816 yr Author are they double factor domanent pieds? maybe? No :hap: argh.... i dont know what they are
August 25, 200816 yr Neville gave the right answer. The bird on the left is a type 2 yellow face dominant pied sky blue. The bird on the right is a dominant pied cobalt.
August 25, 200816 yr I agree with Neville also. I have see a couple recessives though on here that are patterned as dominant and they turned out to be recessive it was interesting, Kaz can testify on that one because they were her babies and she knew the parents.
