Hi All,

If anyone has an Ino Violet Green bird please be so kind as to post as many pictures of this bird as possible.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

The only one I have seen is the pic posted by Deon. This bird was from a friend ... he called it Violino (?). It would be great to see if his special features (Ex bluish-violet distal part of main tail feathers) are kept in every other "Violino".

I do not remember if it was a Sl-ino or a NSL-ino ... Deon, could you highligth us?

Recio

Hi Peter / Recio,

the particular "violino" was bred with NSL ino and looks remarkably like a violet dilute, albeit a very heavily diluted bird. So, to answer Peter's question, if using NSL ino, one might expect the NSL ino violet to look similar to a green violet dilute. The latter might be easier to track down, but may not necessarily be a 100% look-alike. Best guess will be a mostly yellow bird with a very faint green violet sheen.

Peter, if you have a specimen you suspect qualifies as ino violet, please upload a pic.

Hi Recio,

You wouldn't happen to still have the picture, i know Deon is out of action, as he had an operation last week?

Hi Peter:

I will copy and paste Deon's mail :

Hi guys

I drove to a friend and birdkeeper, Hans Meyer to get pictures of his Dark Factored IRN with the black beaks, as I have reported before but never got there to get a decent photo.

There I saw an extraordinary bird, a Violetblue NSL Ino. It has a very soft bluish hue over the rump and mantle feathers, and the white parts are not pure white, but has a slight off-white tinge, compare it to the white of the catching net.

In keeping with tradition, shall we call it a Violino?? Ha-ha

... and the pics :

Hi Recio,

Thanks very interesting bird!

I believe the bird is also Bronze Fellow, and looks VERY similar to the NLS Albino X Bronze Fellow/Blue, another breeder I know bred.

Regards,

Peter
