Ooo, this one has us stumped! I love a good mystery.
Can't wait for better photos!

I personally think it's a hybrid pi between a maxi and blue head.

Allison very close!! I have come to the assumption of blue head/white cap hybrid.

Check it out!









I invited her to AA so hopefully she comes and checks it out here

Wow,if that's that case what an interesting hybrid.

the reason why i picked white cap and blue head was because of the nan-sun colorations, the cap is maroon, a little red from a sun and a little black from a nanday. I assume it would be simliar genetics here, a little color from each parent presented in a diluted cap.

Interesting! and it wouldn't be just a weird color mutation?

I don't think so, the only mutation I have ever heard of in a pionus is the lutino dusky, so far haven't seen or heard anything else. Anyone seen any mutations in pi's?

Wow--I had no idea such a thing could exist. How cool! And what a cutie!

I know I am late but that is a GORGEOUS bird. Any possibility of a slight (partial) albinism? Like a p.aradox marking? I dunno its the only thing I havent seen in here that COULD make sense.

I would like to see more pictures and especially of the eyes( Because I would like to see how much skin is around the eyes?) but I can clearly see bronze coloring on the wings so it does look like a mutation of some sort of species of Pionus IMO.

I really think it is just a blue head/white cap hybrid. Look at the beak--it has a bit of red/pink just like a blue head, but the body colors of a white cap--the rest of the beak, and all the colors except the blue bib(blue head)

Leza, whose bird is that you posted pics of?

 

[zoo mom]

Actually the body coloring looks just like my blue head Pi Andre. The main difference is the pink cap and white beak.

It was a Craigslist ad lindsay found, I emailed the woman and asked for more pictures.
