Posted April 24, 200916 yr I initially thought this guy was grey green but at closer inspection and at comparison with other grey greens I'm not so sure. Edited April 24, 200916 yr by Linda_S photo too large changed to link
April 24, 200916 yr Looks like a Recessive Pied cock to me, yellow and dark green for his body colour.
April 24, 200916 yr Hi Linda, from the photos there looks to be to much blue sheen on the feathers to be greygreen, maybe he is an olive or violet green. What colour are his tail feathers it is hard to tell in the photos. Nice bird anyway
April 24, 200916 yr Author Tail feathers are yellow & black + some green same shade as body colour on underside.
April 24, 200916 yr tail feather has been affected by the pied gene and so not useable to tell the difference. cheek patchs are normal blue meaning he isn't grey-green. they don't appear dark enough for me to suit either olive or violet green. Which leaves us with dark green as the answer. Edited April 24, 200916 yr by *Nerwen*
April 24, 200916 yr You can have violet Lt green , dark green and olive green , the violet gene just manuiplates the shade of colour . Violet Dark green Recessive Pied. You can test pair to find out exactly.
April 25, 200916 yr Lochlan - true but the cheek patches are still dark, normally darker than these ones
