He’s only 1 month so I know his “true mutation” will come out when he goes through his first molt but can any of you guys guess what mutation he might be?

    beak size?

    um, weird and somewhat random question: do different mutations within GCCs have different beak sizes? i’ve noticed that Spunky (my pineappale) has a larger beak than Ollie (my turquoise) - is this my eye tricking me? or maybe its because one has a lighter coloured beak? google didnt help much...

    Who’s good at ‘tiel mutations?

    Hi, I am very curious about what mutation Pikachu might be. I first met him 20 years ago, as he was my friend’s bird. When he was young, I’m fairly sure he had bluish grey eyes. This year, my friend passed away, and we took him in. He’s about 22 now. He has a small amount of grey feathers in...

    Slow to change iris color

    Just passed our first year "gotcha" date for miss Potato. She still had some faintly visible barring on her head when I got her, so she's not too much older than a year, but her iris has been slow to change color. You can see a faintly gray ring in bright light, but it usually looks black. Is...

    What strange mutation is this???

    Hi All! Yesterday I picked up a pair of babies from a breeder for possible future breeding. This lil dude seems to have a strange feather texture, like those of lorikeet head feathers. The tip of each feather on his rump and body are elongated, and some head feathers have a black dot on the...

    Personatus or Fischeri?

    Hi, I bought these beauties yesterday and the guy said that these are masked (personatus) lovebirds. I'm confused! Are these 'yellow colour ones' masked (personatus) or Fischeri? Can someone identify them? Maybe these are dilute/ pied lutino masked lovebirds?

    Pyrrhura chimera

    Got a load of young greencheeks and noticed this one was different. It looks like a bizarre mix between the yellow sided and the pineapple high red mutations. Thoughts?
