Here is a few pictures with number on every bird that I need a name of mutations, there are couple of images so you can see them in different angle.

Some of the young are now couple, so what can I get from these couples:

first couple:
number 2 (hen) and number 4 (****)
second:
cremino (****) and number 3 (hen)
third:
same like 3 (hen) and 7

and some info about parents of some birds:
number 2 - normal green (father) and number 5 (mother)
number 7 - lutino (father) and like number 3 (mother)
number 4 - number 8 (father) and normal green (mother)
number 6 - number 8 (father) and normal green (mother)

oh wow, i can help with mutations, but not so much the genetic outcome... some of these are the more unusual mutations that i'm not overly familiar with how their genetics work

1. double dark factor double violet factor whiteface
2. double dark factor American cinnamon
3. double dark factor Australian cinnamon seagreen.
4. still a little young to tell, it's either a young single dark factor whiteface or single dark factor seagreen (it can be either, you will tell once it has it's adult colours. if the beak turns out to be pink at top but orange/yellow at the bottom--it's seagreen. if the beak turns ivory pink--whiteface.


5. double dark factor single violet factor whiteface pied
6. double dark factor australian cinnamon
7. difficult, but going to say FALLOW! based on blue rump, but cinnamon-tinged flights.
8. single violet factor edged dilute whiteface
9. i want to say is the same mutation as #8 only, young.



you got some gorgeous and rather uncommon mutations there, and a nice variety! they're all so beautiful!!!

I agree with Dally but I think number 7 is an Australian Cinnamon green series.

this is the one i have, and i absolutely LOVE it. its pretty in-depth of genetics and the mutations, even rarer ones. though some of the mutation names are varied, because the names even today are varied...


example: seagreen also goes by the names "aquaturquoise" and "apple green"!

dutch blue: "aqua" and "pastel"

whiteface: "turquoise"

you get what i mean? its so confusing but once you make the connection between the name differences, its easy to get. the thing is, different areas in the world call them by different names.

Thanks a lot :D I see that book but for me is too expensive, so I try to find help over the internet, but as you say, the names are varied and that confuses me. As I can see a part of that book that you have, it is a perfect book :D

yeah it would be, i dont blame you!! im very picky on my books, so if i'm spending over $20 on it, it better be one i will get a lot of use out of. my $60 book was a wild bird field guide. i needed a replacement as i used my last one to shreds lol. it's a hardcover book, the lovebird one. so it'll last a very long time.
