First breeding clutches of this year, taken after a feeding session. Pardon the mess but hope you like the pictures nonetheless.

Yup. The avatar bird is a resident of my backyard aviary and is a TurquoiseBlue Grey Cleartail.

They are awesome!!! they're gonna turn out to be some very gorgeous coloured birds aey... I've seen some pics of cleartails etc but i do not fully understand all the mutations but trying hard to learn !! i would love a tamed bird of them mutations but hard to find here- maybe i'm just not looking in the right places... plus Birdbird is a handful on his own lol

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
@Peach,
The Violet factor is a primary mutation, meaning it cannot be produced by combining other color mutations. Being a Dominant mutation, you have to have the Violet gene in at least one of your parent birds to produce the coloration. For example:
Violet male x Blue hen
=50% Violet males and hens
=50% Blue males and hens
or:
Blue male x VioletGreen/Blue hen
=25% Violet males and hens
=25% VioletGreen/Blue males and hens
=25% Blue males and hens
=25% Green/Blue males and hens
From what I heard, the first Violets were sold over ten years ago for $50K. They were first bred by Gordon Hayes from Southern California. Nowadays, breeders sell them in the US from $800-$1500. More than that in other countries.
Hope that helps.
