Can someone explain the difference and possible post pics of the two for comparison?

excellent question, and I would also love to know the answer :hap:

I'm pretty sure that goldenface looks green but there's still a blue tinge to the feathers. A yellow face type 2 would have more blue and look more aqua-ish i guess. That's the only difference i've ever been able to find...

I believe Ozzie is a goldenface?

I am trying to understand that one too. Try this link http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/1958/notech5.html

That is how ost define it and I don't see a porblem with that but will most of my readings I think it's just the name given to the same gene in different area's of the world.

 

Goldenface:

 

Yellowface type2:

Thanks for the info. Do they classify them separately in competition?

is there a reason the bird in the first picture has white cheek spots?

Sorry to upset everyone but there is three types. :ausb:

 

In the blue strain you have a Blue (Sky blue or Blue White face)

Then you have the yellow face blue (Type I)

Then you have the Parblue Yellow Face (Partially blue Partially Green)

Then you have the Golden Face Parblue.

Soory don't have a photo of a yellowface Parbue.

 

Please note that in Australia it in not good to have a parblue for showing.

I thought the goldenface was a deeper yellow in the face compared to any yellow on the rest of the body...?? So that would make type 1's having yellow face and obviously blue body, with no bleed-through, type 2's having bleed-through, and goldenface (type one or two) having a deeper yellow (hence gold) on the face as opposed to elsewhere. Using my birds as an example, Sunny, Mystery, Blossom, are type 2 yellowfaces, and Rainbow (possibly Skittles too) was a type 2 goldenface. Does everyone find this wrong?

 

type 2 goldenface:

 

Skittles only because the yellow on the front of her face is so much deeper than the yellow on her pied spot and in the wings.

 

Rainbow, because the yellow in his mask was so much deeper than the yellow on the rest of his body:

 

type 2 yellowface:

 

 

another type 2 yellowface:

 

This one you can see how Skittles face is a deeper yellow than Sunny's, and Sunny is yellow all over. The next shows the difference in yellow between Skittles and Blossom.

 

Am I confused, or does anyone else see possible goldenface vs. yellowface?

 

Daz, this would make 4 types of yellowface. :ausb:

The difference is made very clearly in this article:

 

http://www.birdhobbyist.com/parrotcolour/parblu04.html

As a matter of fact the whole series of articles on this site is absolutely fantastic. Read it all and you'll learn a great deal.

whats mine?

 

belco yours looks like a type I YF to me;

 

this is a grey YF type II, in person he is a little more grey and his face is a bit softer

Dingo- becase of the spangle gene.

 

Well reading that site it sounds like they are calling a golden face a bird that looks like the second picture I put up.

 

Belco- yours is stilla a babie s/he could be a type one or two but you can't really say for sure until the molt where the bleed will start to show.

i love mine :dbb1:

 

i put my finger thru the mesh and he comes up n nibbles

*Hits head.* Why didn't I think of this before. I was answer Shawna's post about her bird's colours. And remembered the two different looks of what we call yellow face.

 

The ones that look like Rainbow's lot and even aqua type colour and then ones like my Marine, patchy. I wounder if this is the differance between them? yelowface bing the smooth colour and the patch being the goldenface (as that site stated)

Nerwen, you've lost me...

:(Laughing out loud): I think I might get a few answers like that.

 

Here does this help:

 

Is this yellow face:

 

and this Golden face:

??

 

Becuase we have called them the same thing yet they look very different.

yellow has a yellow head and golden just has the face?

Maybe so. I know the picture of Mystery is a yellowface type 2. The yellow on her face and mask is the same shade of yellow behind her head. The yellow on Rainbow is much deeper on the face than elsewhere on the body (even the back of his head was lighter than his face), hence my thought of goldenface. Does the bird in the picture you put up have the same shade of yellow behind the head too? It does seem a deeper shade of yellow than Mystery. I would still call it a type 2 though, whether goldenface or yellowface.

No Rainbow there is only 3.

The blue series has four basic mutations.

Blue mutant 1. - Skyblue

Blue Mutant 2 - Yeloow Face Skyblue

Parblue 1 - Yellow face

Parblue 2 - Golden Face.

 

Also in the blue series you have the Dark Factor gene working on the colour also.

 

No Dark Factor - Sky blue.

Single Factor - Colbalt

Double Factor - Mauve. or Violet. (thanks Nerwen )

 

So if you cross a Double factor Darkfactor bird with a Blue mutant 2 you would get a Yellow face Colbalt

 

The golden face is more ... buttercup. "Brillant"

Edited March 29, 200619 yr by daz

two dark factors are mauve Violet is another gene. (yes I know not about yellowfaces. ) I want oread up a bit more on the websites and my book to see ifa nything becomes more clear.

Yes Violet is another gene.. Thanks Nerwen.. I fixed it up
