We might run into problems due to normal variation, so that's why I suggested "keeping it in the family"Ring0Neck wrote:Johan,Johan S wrote:Hi Ben, yes, that's what I was referring to. It would be very nice to see two green series brothers, one carrying blue or turq, the other carrying emerald, side by side.
Yes, that would be nice!
This green in above pic i believe is /turquoise first year breeding with him & i have another mature green/blue which in comparisson is a duller color, basic phenotype of wildtype.
My point: /Parblues possibly have visible markers on close inspection (diff. phenotype) when compared to wildtype, if so it will explain what/why JF saw a difference hence picking the /Emerald.
Has anyone done any comparisons of green/turquoise V green ?
I wonder how much attention has really been paid to green vs green / turq or blue. I have a friend with a fairly certain green bird that doesn't split for blue or turq. 20+ chicks with a blue partner, and all green series. I'm going to have to go and take a close look at the bird.
