She's probably got a Marvin Gaye CD going to encourage them. :D

If that's a cinammon green female and there are no splits you're looking at green females split for blue and green males split for cinammon and blue in a few weeks.

The nomenclature problem rears it's ugly head. She doesn't look like a green cinnamon in the sense that I was using the term. Pallid maybe? Jump in any time here, Jay. :)

It actually looks very similar to a Golden Olive (grey green cinnamon). I used to have one. Gorgeous colour imo.

Second from the left is a Golden Olive.

From the picture, she seems too yellow to be a Green Cinnamon. How about a close-up picture? Here's one of my Green Cinnamons, sometimes know as an Isabel.

Julie's picture kind of looks like some sort of cinnamon lutino, but the ino gene would suppress the melanin production and, consequently, the cinnamon appearance even if the cinnamon gene was there, right?

Jim,

The Sex-Linked Ino gene does not seem to do a good job in blocking out brown melanin (cinnamon) production. This has been observed not only in IRNs but in other species especially the Budgerigar. The term Lacewing was actually coined because of laced patterns of melanin on the flight coverts on Cinnamon-Ino budgie specimens. Some experts even say that up to 20% of melanin is retained in Cinnamon-Ino crossovers.

Non-Sex-Linked (NSL) Ino however almost totally blocks out melanin because this gene codes for the enzyme Tyrosinase which is the initial catalyst on the biosynthesis of melanin. NSL-Ino is sometimes termed as Tyrosinase-Negative albinism (similar to OCA I human albinism) while SL-Ino is Tyrosinase-Positive albinism (similar to OCA IV human albinism).

If you or any other readers are interested with avian genetics, I recommend joining this Yahoo Group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Gene ... =259663349

We have discussions on topics such as this on a regular basis.
