Stinky nibbly's colour...Have updated with photos

Post by midnightflight »

Wondering what colour my Smelly friend is (smelly being an affectionate term)

I'll describe him as best I can

Beak: Upper and lower mandible red
Tail and primary flight feathers: Greyish colour looks faintly blue in the light. Wing feathers bordered in yellow
Underwing: Bright pure yellow
Feet: Grey
Nails: Grey
Main colour: Olive green
Eyes: funny hazel colour when eyes are pinned looks slightly blue

Just curious... any help would be appreciated.

He is an immature bird so I don't know what sex he is yet

Olive is double factor Dark on Green. GreyGreen is Grey + Green. Lots of people get the two confused.

See them both here:

question:

What does "complete dominant mean"

this should help: http://www.gencalc.com/html/mut_eng.html#in

*someone correct me if I'm wrong*-- but my take on it is: I believe they are referring to Grey being a "complete dominant" mutation meaning that it will completely overrule Blue, and will turn an otherwise blue bird into a grey coloured bird, and in turn will change a Green bird into a grey-green coloured bird.
