She's a lovely girl Dani.
I would say she is a Turquoise Cinnamon Blue.
Just like the bird in my avatar

Really??? Wow...that's so great to know finally...I didn't know that's what that bird was (the one in your avatar...doesn't look like a turq.)
Do you think she might change colors as she ages?

She won't change much now.
The Turquoise change a lot from when they are born until their adult moults. But after that, they stay pretty much the same.

I keep looking at that fid in your avatar...and wonder how that can be the same as my Sunni. That's really a turquoise?

The one in my avatar is a Dominant Dilute ('Fallow') so is slightly lighter than Sunni.
Turquoise is a Parblue mutation (part way between Green and Blue in colour).
A Normal Turquoise or TurquoiseBlue will appear Blue with a Green wash. When you add Cinnamon to the mix, the Green wash turns to an almost yellow colour.
This is the guy in my avatar

Ooohh!!! Isn't he gorgeous!!!!
*Rolls tongue back in mouth and wipes slobber off floor*
I just love all the color mutations - wish I could see them in person as they are so much prettier in person.
Now why couldn't I have that kind of luck?
