Could you give us some more information or a pic? It could be a few things. A different mutation, insufficient diet/deficiency, an illness.. An avian vet could do some tests to rule out illness or deficiencies. You said hes stopped loosing weight. How much does he weigh now?

im not sure of his exact wight as i don,t have a bird scale though it looks almost normel and he has started to eat pretty bird pellets to day im going to take him to an avian vet as im unabble to post a photo,he is vary active and playful however , if it is some mutaition he will be one poor ugly little bird

It's possible that your bird is a blue turquoise. Was the change in color accompanied by any molting? I have a cinnamon blue turquoise that I thought was just a blue cinnamon until her first molt. Also, how old is the bird?

Why would your bird be ugly? Just a different colour. :wink:

oh he won,t be ugly in my eyes maybe i was just just joking as i thougt i had purchesed a blue bird he is a bout six mounth ould and the pet stote where i bought him has said his is prabaly a vreagated bird and that is a genitic gene thing i don,t think i,ve seen a tourquise before im looking forword to the end of his molt as to see what his final outcome is just check out some web photo i naver had any idea the number of colers these guys come in all i can say is WOW , he is i wish i had an avivry there are almost as many kinds as budgies it looks so far like he,s a lime green over blue mixture will he change at every molt till full muturity which is said to be about 3 years

There's a picture of a blue turquoise in this thread:

Is yours starting to look a little like that? About the same color green coming in on the back and the wings?
