i have three birds i would like to suss out please for what mutation and colour are they:

 

the parents of this one was a lutino hen and a aqua (goldenface) spangle cock:

 

 

 

 

this one i just want to know if its a type1 or2 yellowface

Sky Violet Opaline Spangle YF2

 

 

 

YF1 at the moment, but you will have to confirm after its first moult.

 

 

 

Yes, this is a spangle dominant pied. Can you post a photo of this bird before its moult please.

I agree with Liv, the first baby is just adorable.

Agree with liv. Although im not sure the first chick is opaline spangle? Might clear up after the moult..

What do you mean by that CSB?

 

And agree with Liv - opaline - clear mantle and striations on head rather than stripes - definietly opaline.

I agree with Liv but although the second chick looks like a type 1 yellow face it is really too young to tell because the yellow often doesn't spread until the 1st moult. It's yellow face type will be the same as the parent it inherited it from unless that parent is a type 2 that is masking type 1

Can I see a photo of this before her first moult - Pretty Please :emoticon112:

agree with Liv one the first and third. And as Neville said it is too young to tell with the 2nd chick on the type as type 2 yf's look like type ones until the first moult when the bleeding starts, although if the parents are a type 2 then you can be pretty sure the chick is as well. yellow on the wings could be a sign of a type 2 as well.

 

as to the spot - they are always random with pieds just like the markings on the body of each pied. some have a lot and and some don't. she just happened to have a big pied spot on her head yet her young didn't. this is normal.

thanks everybody!!! :budgiedance: sky-blue opaline spangle yelloeface2 i would of never guessed that!

 

i am very sorry liv, i dont have any pictures of the girl when she was young. i bought her from a petshop (better pets and garedens, the owner breeds them and gives them to the shop) when she was a baby but then i didn;'t take any pics as i do now. She looked the same just stripes going to her forehead, and shes never really had a band of white in her lower tummy.

 

just to get me to understand this skyblue violet, i have neever heard of such a colour, can anyone of you guys please explain to me in english howw this works.....i mean, the mother of the lutino which bred this skyblue violet was violet so how did this get passed on?

 

Thanks again

 

P.S liv i will check the computer for pics, but i doubt any will be on there :budgiedance:

Violet is a colour adding factor and not a colour in it's own right. So a sky blue violet is a sky blue bird that has violet added. A visual violet is usually a cobalt violet.

 

The lutino must have been carrying violet, inherited from it's parent, but because the lutino mutation covers other mutations it couldn't be seen but she could still pass it on to her offspring
