Colour Mutation

[Cyreen]

Someone has asked my advice in regard to colour, but I'm not positive given some of the classifications depending on eye and rump color. My best guess would be Pale Fallow Whiteface; any advice?

Oh my goodness.. I have no idea about what mutation it is, but... what an adorable little sweetie!

I agree, they are very sweet. Any suggestions on colour? Anyone? They don't appear to have red eyes. Could they be classified as creamino or maybe a cinnamon from the color on the rump?

I'd guess a seagreen pallid with two violet factors. Like the baby on the far right here, but seagreen vs turquoise.



That's just a guess though.

@expressmailtome would probably know for sure.

They are not creamino as they have brownish gray feathers on their rumps. Also, their eyes do not seem to be red so they can not be fallow. I would go with a blue series Australian cinnamon with two dark factors. Since the rump is grey, it has two dark factors, also called slate. Due to this, and the Australian cinnamon, I can not say which of the blue series mutations that it is.

Thank you! It seems the paler they get, the more finicky the classification.

I'll take the one in the middle, please!

I would be curious to ask is that bird splay legged, or is he just having a hard time getting a grip on those slick bars?

I think the picture is sideways and they are actually clinging to the side of the cage. The picture was sent to me from a phone and that seems to be a common problem. She sent another picture with them perched on a food dish and it was very definitely sideways, but the lighting was odd in that picture, didn't show their colour as well.

I think you are mostly right on the picture being sideways; looking at the top right corner, it looks like the "base" of the cage is making an appearance there. As well, not sure why that other green oval thing would be on the bottom of the cage.

I believe the mother was a whitefaced slate; she look very much like my Jake only slate grey instead of violet. I don't know about the father.
