Need help identifying Mutation, Please.

Post by Mahlachi »

Jahto, My soon to be 1 yr old Indian ring neck (hatched 5-4-10) is a beautiful color mix but i cannot figure out what exactly is the mutation. I bought her from a great bird specialty store in my area that i also bought my Quacker. When i bought her she was blue straight blue and thats what i figured i had. but more and more color has came out in her. The guy that did her nails for me recently said she (he said it was a she) was a blue turquoise mutation but lately it seems as if she has a mix of greyish lavender, a few shades of blue, and some shades of green. It made me wonder if it was possible she had a touch of violet or cinnamon in her genetics. Also since i have had her she was very nervous and jumpy....and hated my wife (yelled at her alot) but i moved her into the bedroom (since the quacker was also in the living room) and she is the sweetest thing ever now and is very friendly to my wife. Total change in personality...wich i had tried that sooner.

Anyway if anyone knows the possible mutation my feathered friend is please reply.

**edit*** forgot to add pics***
Unsure on size of these due to being taken on a a 10mp Nikon

Hi,

He/she seems to be a grey turquoise (blue-grey-turquoise) or a silver turquoise (blue-grey-cinnamon-turquoise)... but lighting is not really good to be sure.

I just google'd that mix and i got linked back to these forums with this thread http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... &view=next that almost exactly like my girl. So i guess that means your were right. this thread called it a Pastel Silver (blue/turquoise/silver/cinnamon)
