Shey,
I see no edged pattern. (sorry)
If there is edged the daylight pics will show it better.
Do the flight first 2-3 feathers look brown to you? (open wing) if so it's cinnamon

bears a strong resemblance to Kappa's Deep Green in the pics with the flash-


most pics of green birds taken in the dark with flash would be very similar and it'd be very hard to pic any differences between them.


take a 1 minute video of the bird and upload it, if not email it to me i can put it up.
i think we should test the idea of using video to identify a bird, as we can see pics give us too much variation...

Hi Shey,
I have to say that the resemblance to my deep green is uncanny. The faded blue in the tail is the same as what my bird shows. As we have discussed to true phenotype of my bird is still up in the air. I know it's deep, but is it also misty? I think you're in the same boat. We have some test breeding ahead of ourselves to keep us occupied.

Shey,
The more I read and hear about the misty, the more I am convinced that my cock bird maybe misty. I was looking at him in low light conditions, and as Lee mentioned, the bronze effect is more evident, even to the naked eye. Do you get the same happen with your bird?

don't you guys make the same mistake.

Sad to hear- I've been looking at Markus's birds ever since you & Johan thought my Edged hen maybe Misty (still don't know if she is or not)- and I must say from what I've seen, that it is a very beautiful mutation in its own right.

Went looking through my pics that I have of her and found the second one- from memory it was taken in the evening- does this count as bronzing?

Sorry this bird isn't the same as in the first pics. She has a green leg band. the one in the first pics doesn't. :D

Shey, the best way I know of will be by breeding to blue and also trying to get DF. Also, I'm not very clued up on misty. Have only ever seen them in four collections. So I repeat mostly what others have told me. Lee is the one with experience in this regard.

Hi sheyd,

this bird

and this bird

are not one and the same bird.

The first one has a black under beak, dark nails, and no leg band

Picture removed by request (moderator)


and the second one has a green leg band, light nails and lighter feets and a red/brown/black under beak (typical cinnamon).

Picture removed by request (moderator)


Perhaps my eyes see more then yours. :(

The bird with the leg band is my Edged hen (had her for just over 2 months now). Hope this clears things up :) (oh and btw she doesn't have a black lower mandible- it's brownish- but then if you read where I said that that was taken in the evening then you could account for the colour that you see there..as well as her leg band)

If you go back and read the thread it will make more sense to you 8)
Then i must have missed the topic change from the misty bird to the cinnamon edged one. :)

Hi everyone,
For those in the know, and to those who are also trying to unravel the difference between misty and khaki. What is your opinion ?

I have been trying to gather some information on the misty and khaki and have found it to be a confusing undertaking. I have found that some breeders say that the two are the same mutation, just that misty is the new name, replacing khaki. Others seem to feel that they are different and and record their breeding results accordingly.

I have emailed some photos to Markus, to get his opinion, but I have not received a reply as yet.

Sorry to hijack your thread Shey, but I think that this may also be something that may interest you now.

Misty and Khaki are both incomplete dominant are they not? If so where are the DF birds in these mutations? I previously bred Khaki or 'Jade' Rainbow lorikeets. Interestingly there were marked variances in some SF Khakis in the darkness of the greens. The DF Khakis didn't vary, being slightly darker than a Grey Green. SF Khaki retains structural colours, the blue head and belly being very attractive, DF birds lose the blues. There are images of these in Terry Martin's book.

Hi everyone,
I have received a reply form Markus, and it makes for interesting reading.
He states that after many years of breeding misty and khaki mutations he has determined that they are infact different mutations, as they inherit differently.

He mentions that the khaki is as the dark green and has a incomplete dominant dark factor, and the misty is co- dominant. He says that his breeding results of blue khaki to blue khaki, produce a greyish offspring (mauve.). However, after many attempts he cannot achieve the same mauve bird when breeding with misty to misty.

So this begs the question, is the Oz deep mutation actually a variety of khaki?

It is not the first time that I have read on this forum that not only the Oz deep, but also the SA deep, greatly share characteristics of the misty. Since misty and khaki have a very similar phenotype, it would be easy to understand the oversite. We may have been dealing with khaki all along.

This new information does answer some of the questions I had and clears up some of the confusion also. I hope that others find it useful as well.

Hi Shey,
Keep in mind that the best education is through participation, so please, stay involved. We might not all have the answers, but together we can achieve more than on our own.

By the way, I forgot to mention in my last post that I have photos of khakis form Markus which I will up load soon.

Hi Kappa,

Thanks for sharing, this is great info.
Just on your question:
...breeding results of blue khaki to blue khaki, produce a greyish offspring (mauve.).

So this begs the question, is the Oz deep mutation actually a variety of khaki?

If you read what you have written, you also give the answer to your Q in your statement above.
No, it can not be, because Oz deep X Oz Deep does not give you Greyish/Mauve only with Eu Coblats you can get the mauve.

We could ask: Is Khaki an allele of Dark?

Hi Ben,
You're absolutely right, I realised what I did after I posted. I got carried away with the new information without thinking it through properly.
So if we pose the question, is khaki an allele of dark, then is may be plausible that misty is an allele of deep?

Shey, unfortunately he did not remark on what his thoughts of what my bird may be.

We could but we fall short in blue series. a misty blue's pics and description is not same as deepblue IMO
the deepblue color is rather vibrant somewhat
http://psittacula-world.com/EN/Mutation ... -Misty.htm
I can see where you coming from though; the green series is so alike,
I believe we need more data before we can conclude more then we already know.
Perhaps this breeding season will be kind to us to give us more to work with.
There's a few breeding pairings from diff. breeders at work help us understand this mutation better after this season.
All i want for X-Mas (in July) is a deep grey emerald ;

Looking forward to see those pics Kappa

This is a very interesting topic, but to be honest I think we are a long way from figuring this puzzle out. I have more questions than answers at this stage. A couple of thoughts

1) @Kappa, the part above I highlighted in red I think you might have wrong. From Markus's website and the labels, those are actually cobalt khaki and mauve khaki. Which brings me to point number 2.

2) Those birds really do not look at all like what I would have imagined a cobalt khaki and mauve khaki would look like. The same thing happened with local birds in SA where violet "misty" (khaki?) appears like a stock/standard faded/palish cobalt in normal light. What concerns me about the pics is that the top pic of blue khakis seems to be the same, or very similar birds to the very bottom pic of the mauve khaki. This to me is so unexpected that I suspect we might be looking at a mislabeled pic.

3) The bottom right bird seems almost the same as a normal blue. Very unexpected. Does the khaki mutation completely nullify the effect of the dark mutation? Why are the back of the head, which seems unaffected by khaki, still the normal blue phenotype and not darker like we expect for cobalt/mauve? :?:

4) The DD khaki blue proves that khaki and dark mutations are at different loci. They can not be alleles of the same locus.

5) Are there pictures of DF khaki?

I don't think the breeder that has this bird is in OZ, i don't know him he asked me to post these pics for him.
hopefully he will comment here on it.

Hi Johan,
I have re-read the email from Markus, and the blue khakis are dark factor. My mistake.
I will email him again and find out if he has them in normal blue and in df khaki, or if they all naturally carry the dark factor or if this is something he has bred into his khaki lines.
Below is a copy of his email reply to me, see what you think.

after a long time of breeding the colour "khaki" I can told you that
this colour is not the same inheritance as "misty".
In my opinion it is the same inheritance as "dark green" (incomplete
dominant darkfactor).
All the birds in the blue line have also a very intensive grey/black
pigmentation extremely on the wings accentuated by flashlight.
If I breed with an 1,0 khakiblue x 0,1 khakiblue pair I got a greyish
bird (mauve)!
This is not a colour which i could breed with an 1,0 mistyblue x 0,1
mistyblue or think you differently?

A long time ago I breed a lot of *Indian Ring-necked Parakeet* in
"misty". I named them "lindgrün /(lime green)/".
In 2003 J.Bastiaan came to me to make a few photos of my lime green
birds. He told me that the right name of this colour is
"misty"(Co-dominant).
I have never breed from a misty blue pair greyish offsprings!!

P.S.: Sorry for my very bad English, I hope you can understand my
detailed description

Many regards,
Markus

Hi Johan,

the DD khaki blue is nothing more then a khaki(df) blue. This is a special "notation" of Markus because it should address a possible linkage between khaki and the true dark factor. But the bird in question isn't carrying the true dark factor for sure. Same goes for the D khaki blue. It is khaki(ef) blue. The khaki birds were combined with violet factor in 2010 for the first time. Until now no combination with the true dark factor for my knowledge.

This is the same bird on an exhibition in Germany in 2009:

Hi everyone,
Please correct me if I'm wrong. After reading Markus's email again, and information from Madas, what I think Markus is tring to explain is that the khaki has a different phenotypes in hetro and in homo forms. As is seen with the dark factor birds.
However, in his breeding result to date he has not been able to reproduce these results with the misty. So from this, is it correct to say that with the misty there is no visual difference in the phenotype in sf and df, as can occur in other dominant mutations like grey?
Is this consistent with the results others are reporting with the misty?

Hi,

these birds were wrong marked as rec. cinnamon in Sjacks first book. He has correct his mistake in the second book. They are listed under bronze fallow.
As Willy said a cinnamon will always inherit sex-linked rec. This mistake in labeling these birds as rec. cinnamon was done by only judging from phenotype (which is showing cinnamon Features for sure). But a mutation is not only discribed by its resulting phenotype. The kind of inheritance plays a big role in naming them in a correct way.
Sanzaf1 wrote: i also believe that a reccesive violet cinnamon was bred in belgium
Are you refering to the birds breed by Mr. Goessens? Still unknown what kind of mutation they are or if they are a mix of two or more well known mutations. But bronze fallow and cleartail could be in the mix (perhaps NSLino as well).
