Hi
Can any one tell me the genetics of a emarald ringneck is it the same as turquoise /pastel.

Re: Emarald
It was believed to be the same for some time, but evidence is suggesting that it might not be the case. Offspring from an emerald x green pairing will be required to investigate the new hypothesis.

Re: Emarald
Sorry for the late reply on hols
So if it is different what are we looking at.
I can't under stand that we don't no the mutation of it yet as
All you see in parts of the world is emarald violet ,emarald dom pied and so on.
It asks the question are the so called gurus in ringneck breeding actchally
Gurus.
What are indigo azure di green and so on is this the figment one mans imagination.

Hi Kevin,
I think the gurus are a bunch of rather bright individuals and mostly deserve the credit given to them by their elevated status. The phenotypical difference (at least, this is how the hypothesis goes at this stage) between a green and a green emerald will mostly be observable with UV light. Under normal sunlight, they will appear almost identical. Thus, to be fair to the gurus, it was an honest mistake to make the assumption that it is recessive to green and dominant to blue, leading to the conclusion that it is another type of parblue. And again, this is a 'hypothesis', a term used for a new idea which hasn't been proven conclusively. It might be right, it might be wrong, or it might be partly correct and needs some correction. Time will tell, and I'm sure we'll have the answer in the next 2-4 years.
As for indigo, it is an allele of blue like turquoise and one can consider it a 'turquoise bird with a lot of blue and only a little green'. It will not display rose in the neck ring of cocks, unlike turquoise.
As for Azure, from what I've heard, a very rare mutation owned by only a handful of people. The blue appearance is different from the normal blue, and not a lot is known about it. I suspect it might be a second blue type (if recessive) or a mutation causing a slight structural chance (probably dominant then), but I don't know any more about it. And the people in the know, isn't talking either. Which, again, is fair, as a fair amount of investigation is needed to make sure that incorrect information doesn't spread.
Di green I don't know at all, and haven't heard of it either. Perhaps the green series of the azure?
