Linnie Colors

[Lady Jane]

These adorable little birds come in many color variations I thought it would be nice to post photos of your Linnies and state the color. I ran into an old thread where i posted photos of the two i had but it will not allow me to post an old thread so i copies it. This is Tango who is close to turquoise.

I believe that maybe a Mauve mutation.

I’ve never heard of it but it looks beautiful

Gigi is a normal green.

Love the natural green color. So rich.

Yes, Mauve. And my other guy could be the twin of your turquoise! I was betwixed and between getting a cobalt or the mauve. Lol. Would have gotten one of each as well as a green if I could have. I love them. They are just so sweet. My dog is pretty jealous tho. He has been spoiled since we had to say goodbye to his dad in November. He loved being an “only child” of sorts. Never paid any attention to our CAG and the cat is his as far as he’s concerned.

I adore the little black dots on the underside of Linnies. Looks like cobalt blue colors.

Contributing to the rainbow ... turquoise, lutino, creamino, dark green (I think), normal green

Look at these dolls! To me like pint size quakers! You even have matching colors to my 3 girls!

Beautiful trio +. I once knew a very conscientious breeder who was concentrating her breeding efforts towards the green because it was the natural color and birds may be healthier. She sold me the turquoise one at a discount.
