All birds at least have one dark factor.

thx for your kind words.Ring0Neck wrote:lolwillowisp71 wrote: How on earth did you even guess opaline, at this early stage? ...
Using all my 6 senses; few hundred calculations& because Madas posted the question
an Opaline enthusiast.
I already can anticipate your next question.
My anticipation was right.Ring0Neck wrote:I already can anticipate your next question.
But i already have 3 questions& probably not what you were thinking
where's the fourth bird? to start withcan we see it?
what is that "normal" bird? trying to make sense of the 2nd pair.
I should have said: but i can already anticipate your answerMy anticipation was right."where's the fourth bird?"
I had to transfer the fourth chick to another pair because it wasn't fed in the right way and trampled down by the other three chicks.
So it is lagging behind the other. Means no visible feathers until now. Hopefully next weekend i can post some new pics

the only other reason would have been to hold it back for the puzzle and show it later but not as likely. (that would be Johan's style )

Nice youngsters, Madas.Top right seems dark violet green to me, but I'll wait for the tails. That's also "my style".

Yeap thx i will forward it to the parents.Ring0Neck wrote:Nicely Done !
The green series bird has a whiter down.
Is this what you ment about Opaline in green series having a white down?
If that would be the case with all opalines would be a great marker especially in combos where opaline is hard to IDAnd to add the green series opaline showed a yellowish skin triangle in the neck. ...
I didn't noticed one.Ring0Neck wrote: So the blue series did not have the triangle?

What color is the "violet" in your opinion? And please guess the sex of both birds. ;) I have an idea but DNA will prove or disprove.
madas
Yeap regarding the sex this is my guess too. But don't tell you why (for now)?Ring0Neck wrote: I'll go for Dark Violet Blue Opaline male
Dark Violet /Blue Opaline hen
Very interesting. Pity we don't have any green series opaline.madas wrote:And to add the green series opaline showed a yellowish skin triangle in the neck. Any one who noticed this too?
So breed one.Johan S wrote:Very interesting. Pity we don't have any green series opaline.madas wrote:And to add the green series opaline showed a yellowish skin triangle in the neck. Any one who noticed this too?
Spoken like a true personatus and fischeri breeder!madas wrote:You know it is always a better choice to pair a green series to a blue series bird. ;)
I am breeding personatus and fischeris too. ;)Johan S wrote: Spoken like a true personatus and fischeri breeder!
Hi Johan,Johan S wrote:Well, the topic is "What am I?"
I'm going with pastel fischeri!I stopped breeding agapornis in 2000. Had to sell my collection to pay for my studies. Every now and then I think to myself, maybe I should throw 2 or 3 pairs in my IRN communal aviary for youngsters. The fischeri do have the most interesting and very well developed a-locus. Not to mention probably the best cobalt violet phenotype of all species. Is that one in the back?
Nope. The bird on the right isn't a violet(sf) dark(sf) blue. She looks very greyish and the flights are nearly black (very dark violet blue). So for me it is a violet(df) dark(sf) blue in opaline. For the green one my guess is violet(sf) dark(sf). But not sure. There is a strange color change when the bird is going from outside into the shelter. Inside she looks like darkgreen and lighter then the mother which is opaline violet(sf) green. But outside she looks steps darker and is showing a cobalt violet like tail feathers. Can't explain it.Johan S wrote:Very nice, madas! I think we might be looking at the same combination of structural mutations on both green and blue birds, but I'm having a hard time interpreting the colour on my PC screen. Seems a bit blue. What are your thoughts on the colour? Both dark(sf) violet(sf)?
