I forgot an introduction
well, sorta, I introduced myself in the breeders forum, but HI!
I'm from Northern MN, have 2 kids, 2 dogs, a cat, and three parrots altogether..
blueberry is my lory,
and Relish and Mustard are my IRN parakeets
excuse the cage, its my first attempt at a cage, the paint is the H2O latex paint from Krylon... next cage (in a few months) won't be made out of wood. and if it is, the birds won't have access to it.
Relish is the turq. and Mustard is the Cinn. yes, she looks like, well, crud. I am hoping that she'll re-feather nicely, shes moulting ATM, plus the overpreened spot from her loverboy doesn't help her look any better

Yes and they WILL chew on the wood. The top frame of Kai and Mickeys cage (made from wood) has already had to be replaced, they destroyed the whole thing

I hope to, someday!!! the female lost her tail feathers in the nest box last season, they had eggs, but none hatched at the previous owners. They are being passed around, and I think this'll be the end of the road for them! They make the cutest sounds
the wood is pine, the paint is the krylon latex paint (H2O) so we'll see how long it lasts. I'm hoping 6 months. then, its time for a metal frame!

he was sold as a turquoise. I really have NO idea, since he has funny colors, I thought all turquoise's look different, since the shading is different.
I'm hoping for pretty babies, I already have one sold (for half price to a boss) if it comes out NOT yellow
they were $400 for both, and a much smaller cage. I like the colors, and I have no idea if they have splits or not. I've joined leg band numbers groups, to try and find AGES on them, I haven't worried much about splits.
if hes more of a pastel, neat! they are my surprises, for sure.
and everywhere I've read have said cinns
well, hers are black. definitely NO red and I'm looking at other sites, looking at mutations, she looks more like a 'gregreen cinnamon' than just a plain ol cinnamon.
*note* I keep on editing this post, I do that, sorry**

Eyes are dark red with yellow iris.

Two of my breeder friends live in your area and they have all possible IRN mutations up to the Cleartails and Violets that costs thousands of dollars. I myself only ~50 miles away.

I'm pretty sure that the male is an ex-hand tamed bird still. just the way he acts.
Your bird does look more like a Cinnamon GreyGreen AKA Mustard IRN. Nowadays because not too many breeders breed pure Cinnamons, Greens and GreyGreens, most of them are split to Blue so your breeding scenario may not be as dire as you think.
