What kind of rosellas are these HELP!?!?

[Rickyrod89]

I bought these rosellas they were sold to me as orange rosellas is this correct?

 

[Featheredsamurai]

looks like a crimson rosella mutation, or unhealthy crimson rosellas. I don't know enough about rosellas to say. I would say mutation though.

Was this a breeder or dealer that sold you the birds? Rosellas are one of the easiest birds to to cross for customized colors, so, unless you know & can verify a bird's lineage, you could have most anything.....

I'll go along with Copper's assumption that they're a color mutation, but try looking at red cinammon opline rosellas.....you're probably going to need to contact several rosella breeders.....at least someone who knows the rosella color variations/mutations.....rosellas are as bad as budgies for developing mutations.....heck, you may have to track down the breeder.....

[MikeyTN]

They do look just like the Crimson Rosella Orange!!!

 

[Rickyrod89]

The more and more I look at them I'm thinking they are crimson orange rosella just a question guys I paid 1100 for the pair they are breeders do you guys think I over paid or is that what they are going for? I havnt really been able to find prices on these guys online

 

[MikeyTN]

Where you located at??? IF you paid $1100 for the pair you've over paid as some of the exotic color ones like Rubinos are going for like $600 for the pair.

 

[Rickyrod89]

I'm located in Southern California ... Really wow that makes me angry I didn't know how to price these guys I wasn't sure ... They had other pairs going for 5-6 hundred but they wernt special colors they were regular

 

[MikeyTN]

Well, there's nothing you can do now....Just do your research first before paying certain prices.

I did a little bit of research on these, they are what I would call very unique mutation
there was not a lot of info out there on them, pricing ranges from 300-400 per bird, depending on what country.

what you paid seemed a bit high, but hey, I've paid too much sometimes as well, this is how we learn. hopefully you will make your money back with beautiful chicks.
mikey said it best...just research before you pay

 

[MikeyTN]

That's the wonderful thing about smartphones your able to look them up whenever.....

What you have there is a nice pair of Adelaide Rosellas (Platycercus elegans fleurieuensis (subadelaidae). They are a regional colour variant of the Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans) found in the vicinity of state capital Adelaide in South Australia (state).
They are a very tough bird that comes from a natural range that is both extremely hot (45C) to very very cold (-5 to -10C).
Wish they were mine.

From all the pictures I've seen of Adelaide Rosellas, the poster's pictures look nothing like it as they still look more of the Crimson Rosella Orange. Adelaide is a mix of Crimson and Yellow so the Orange might be part of the mutation of the Adelaide?

 

[Maranoa]

They are definitely Adelaides. As an Australian parrot breeder in Australia with 40 years experience and having seen Adelaide Rosellas on many many occasions I am 100 percent sure they are we Australians call Adelaide Rosellas. You are however correct, Adelaide's are a regional colour morph of the Crimson Rosella found in the vicinity of the city of Adelaide. The range of the Adelaide is in between the outlying range of the classic crimson rosella and the Yellow Rosella found further north in Victoria and NSW.
Until the reclassification of the eight or nine Australian Rosella's into two species - White Cheek and Blue Cheek they were considered a species by themselves.

 

[MikeyTN]

It's interesting regardless! How come you never gotten them with 40 years of experience as a breeder? They sure are pretty to have around!!!

 

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

this is the orange mutation of crimson Rosella.

 

[sergeantmajor]

they look like adalaide rosellas to me
