Green Ringnecks head starting to turn blue...

[crventura15]

Hey guys, I just noticed that the head of one of my green ringnecks (~4 years old) appears to be turning blue. It must be a recent change as it certainly wasn't that way when I got the bird a few years ago.

It starts right above the ring on the back of his head. Is this a common mutation?... What is it?

I'll get some pictures up soon.

Cheers

Yeah that's what it looks like, just a little more pronounced.

So it's pretty normal then?

Yip thats perfectly normal. Some males just get more of the blue on their heads than the others. My male is about 4 now, and has alot more blue on it than I have seen in pics, but have found on a few sites, including here, that its common with them, no special mutation
