What mutation am I??

[Pedro]

I get what your trying to say because of the turquoise, applegreen & aqua peach faced love birds. i am sure they come under par-blue. Par blue the same gene that, when fully inactive creates the Blue mutation, can be partially activated to create intermediate colour mutations ( part way between green & blue ). Together these colour mutations form a genetic family with the blue mutation. Therefore, whilst all parblues are recessive mutations, they are dominant to the blue mutation as it is part of their family.

The correct terminolgy for this genetic interaction is that the blue & parblue mutations are multiple alleles for the same locus.

Not all countries call their mutations the same either which makes things a whole lot confusing.

So pretty!!!

But par-blue is still not considered a true blue mutation. Turquoise in GCC has been bred over and over to create birds with more blue than others. As of now there is no true blue mutation in the GCC family that I know of. The ALBS society does not recognize a blue, I don't think it matters on the location. Many of the breeders from the forums I got the information from are indeed from other countries, although the two quoted are not. Most of the mutations in Lovebirds have been used world wide so there is limited confusion.

Pineapple = Yellow Sided x Cinnamon
Par-Blue = Turquoise bred towards blue

 

[IolaniAviary]

This bird is clearly not blue because there are obvious marks of turquoise, and most likely the chicks would throw the same. There-fore it is still considered a turquoise or par-blue.

Were talking visual colors. Not the true terminology. I understand your point.
As I stated before. Whiteface is conciderd logically a blue mutation. But visually is grey and white. Get what I mean now. However to create pineapple at it's 1st generation is not just breeding cinnamon to yellowsided. Both parents have to carry that gene to produce that mutation. So one would have to have the split and considering cinnamon is sex linked only the father can carry it. So you would need mom a cinnamon and dad a yellow sided split spilt the pineapple gene. I might be wording wrong :?
But I dot belive so. But I do get what your getting at. No there no TRUE blue mutation of gcc

An Australian Breeder that is breeding the blue series.

Hey, it's nice to see some breeders of the blue mutations the one over here is a blue yellow-side...
There is just a misunderstanding a green cheek can't be split pineapple because the correct name of a pineapple is cinnamon-yellowside... and of course you have the blue pineapple or blue cinnamon yellowside. There even exist a blue cinnamon yellowside in a double facor misty. The photo below is from my father he was the first in the world with all the blue mutation and now he is one of the first with the double factor misty in every existing green cheek mutation. His website is now just in dutch(Belgium), but this week it will be translated in English. So you can read all of his articles he written the past 20 years. If you want to see more of his photos please look at Pyrrhuras.net .If you want some more information, please send me a message

I think the pic looks too yellow. How close is the color in the pic to the actual bird?

 

[lene1949]

Gorgeous bird, but the very yellow walls makes it difficult to see the actual colours.

 

[cockatielfan17]

turquise conure is definetly it

 

[woubette]

In my experience, pineapple turquois have a lighter head...beautiful bird btw!!!

 

[TurquoiseMel]

She's friggen beautiful ! I'm thinking there's def turquiose & pinapple in her. Not sure the actual terminology or whatevs. What breeder did you purchase her from? (& if you don't mind me asking, for how much?) she's amazing !! O:

 

[amysaviary]

Your pretty baby is a Turquoise Yellowsied Green Cheek Conure. I breed them so 100% that is what this baby is. Very pretty bird!!!

 

[cdog]

I know this guestion is really old but I had to add my 2¢, she is a yellow side- turquoise.

 

[hexi99]

she looks like a turqouise yellow sided green cheek to me.

left is turquoise cinnamon right turquoise yellow sided

 

[Fidgetroom]

Looks like a turquoise yellow sided.

 

[Nocturnal]

Maybe a turquoise yellow sided? I don't think pineapple is correct because pineapple is cinnamon + yellow sided.

But then I am curious about the white/pale chest.
