Paul, I believe I have pictures illustrating exactly what you are talking about. The two birds in question are cobalt turquoiseblue, and the second cobalt indigoblue. The colour of the foreheads clearly illustrates the "different greens". I'd love to see these two birds in ino to compare the base yellow colour.Indian Ringneck Vic wrote:Melissa
I don't have Emeralds though I do have a family of Indigo that I have been working with for some years. What I am confident of these birds appear in different colour morphs that is indicated in the colour of psittacine, one being Wild Green the other being Aqua Green now before the hysteric armchair experts go off on a witch hunt I am not trying to use Aqua as a name for these birds it is purely a descriptive term to describe the colour of psittacine. Now another observation with these birds including all the other members of the par blue family is they tend to play on colour altering phenotype of their offspring sometimes slightly, other times dramatically as I suspect is what has happend in your case my theory is the other factor your contending with there is likely to be Cobalt in the mix which is another wild card having worked with this mutation I am amazed at some of the results Cobalt is capable of achieving. Looking at your photo I would say the mother is an Indigo and the father belongs in the dark family both these are capable of producing some exciting results.
