Turquoise Cobalt or Turquoise Violet?

Judging from the blue male i would say it's a Turquoise Violet.

If the hen is mature I would say she is a Violet IndigoBlue

The band number is PSNL 65 0804 74120 05

PSNL = Parrot Society Netherlands 74120 is the breeder number. But unfortunately i don't know him.

@trabots Why do you say indigo?

Saud, now that it is confirmed that she is mature, I conclude that she is IndigoBlue not TurquoiseBlue because of the relative lack of pistticin making her a mostly Violet Blue coloured bird. A Violet TurquoiseBlue bird will be a mostly Violet Green coloured bird. A cock IndigoBlue will have a white ring.

Has indigo been shown to be a distinct mutation? Is it an allele of Turquoise?

Indigo is an allele of Blue and Turquoise. There is no order to their dominance over each other. An allelic relationship does not confer priority of dominance over the other allele(s).

Hi Willi,

When looking at your IndigoBlue and your DF Indigo we can see that the quantity/extension/concentration of psittacins is higher in DF Indigo but it seems also that the melanin is increased in DF Indigo (look at the primary flying feathers of the wings). Could you confirm this or is it just a light problem?

just a lighting problem

Mr. Postema

Of course he will.

Genetics surpasses many... or even worse, total ignorance to learn - know it all type (lost cause).
It seems to be a common trait amongst some breeders, unfortunately only a few seek to learn/understand.

Imagine... breeders that don't have questions and knows all - we'd still be in stone age (lutinos & greens) with that attitude.


I always have questions & seek to find answers!
