For those of you with Turquoise Parrot/Parrakeets (Neophema pulchella) could you help me out and put up some pictures of your female birds? I think I had one thrown in as a Bourke. Could be a number of grass parrots as it's not standard colour. Too new to the household to try get pictures of just yet so I'm hoping to get her id'd from pictures.

I managed to get a poor pic of the bird in question. Still in the awful cage that they came with. The birds have been in the house overnight with the plan to put them in the aviary today. But I have read that budgies are too aggressive to house bourke's and turquoise with.

Doing some googling I would say she is either opaline or dilute which is making it harder for me to identify. Is anyone able to confirm or deny my tentative identification as a turquoise?

from my own googling it does looks like an opaline or lutino turquoise parakeet. Definitely not a Bourke though

You have two bourkes and a yellow opaline tourqousine parakeet.

Thanks for the confirmation. Hard to id when its a mutation and an unfamiliar bird.
