Green Ringnecks head starting to turn blue...

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
