My sister has two conures that are incredibly loved. One of them is a moon check male if that matters, and the other one is a female American dilute. What possible mutations should they be expecting. I’m just curious ! Attached pictures as bird tax ! They’re super cute

I don't have a clue. There are so many mutations now. Truly, you need to know before they are allowed to breed. How old are they and what is the knowledge about breeding?
I can't even begin to imagine now a days. It's so much more complicated.

I responded to you because you tagged me but it really was in reply to the op asking. I like sharing conversations. :D

Hello! One thing I want to note quickly is that the female also has the yellow-sided mutation, which makes her belly and cheeks more red. Other than that, it seems like the mutations you listed are spot on.
If they were to breed, all of their male babies should be dilute + yellow-sided (like the mother), and all of their female babies should be cinnamon + dilute + yellow-sided (known as sun cheeks).
If the female happens to be split turquoise or cinnamon, you will get different but similar results. However, you can't tell if she's split those until she's bred.

Not quite. Assuming that there are no splits, all of the males will be visually dilute and all of the females will be visually dilute opaline (yellow-sided) cinnamons (a sun cheek). The males can not be visually yellow-sided without receiving the gene from both parents. Without the father being a split, there can be no visual yellow-sided males.

The mom seems to also be visual yellow-sided :) look at her pink little feet!

She does appear that way to me, but sometimes lighting can be deceiving. That is why I went solely based on what the member said.
