Hi,
Anyone have some photos of pastel emerald violet pieds on this site. Quite a debate on the subject on facebook
Thanks
Lyn

Lyn,

Regarding the debate, before such claim is made (who has & what it looks like etc) i suggest you guys start with pics of the parents

The parents
One parent must carry the Turquoise mutation & the other parent Emerald, the only way to breed a TurquoiseEmerald
& work your way from there.

anyone claiming anything without this info i would consider weak evidence.

the only bird i have coming close to what you're asking is an unconfirmed "Turquoise" Emerald Pied

"Turquoise" = Certainly a Parblue mutation perhaps a variation of Turquoise named Saddleback, it'll be confirmed through breeding.

Cock is emerald and hen is pastel violet pied. Genetics match. Seems like not
Many out there to compare at all

No, there's not many of them. see pic i added to my first post in case you missed it.
did you see the parent's pic? and happy that it is so?

I think the issue is telling if it's emerald or pastel showing or both. Seems to be very hard to identify without test breeding however the price of a pastel violet pied is quite different to a pastel violet emerald pied.
I believe the parents are what is claimed but that does not guarantee emerald in that offspring.

Do you have/ seen many pics of just Turquoise Violet pieds?
I have a few, i can dig some pics for you if you want.

Would be good if you could Ben.
I have sent some Pics to your mobile number as well

From what i have seen the best way i can describe an EmeraldTurquoise Violet Pied V Turquoise Violet Pied

The EmeraldTurquoise Pied chest/rump is a lime green color whereas Turquoise Violet Pied has a dirtier lookin rump/chest

We are dealing with pieds & it is much harder as they always change their phenotype not like say a WHWT

I did not get the pics yet, email is better if you can.

Ok

I got the pics Thanks.



It could carry the Emerald gene, still, i would want to see good pics of the father and rest of the youngsters.
but if i wanted to buy this bird i would not pay more than what a Turquoise Violet Pied is worth due to its size, it is on the small side
possibly due to parents stop feeding it a few days before fleding to encourage them to get out of the nest, or was one of the last hatched etc etc
it happends.

here's a pic of a TurquoiseEmerald Pied



Here's Peter S.'s Emerald Violet Pied very similar to the 1 in Q.
