hi
i have been trying to research IRNs and have troubles finding good reading that explains many of the colour terms etc. like Cobalt and lacewing. etc. thanks

Hi there- it can get pretty confusing when different names are used to describe the same mutation/s

I like this one for beginners, as it has a good range of basic mutations with both old and new names: http://psittacula-world.com/EN/Mutations/P-krameri.htm

so is Cobalt just Dark Blue?
and i still see no description for lacewing!

Lacewing = pallid

1 Dark(factor) on Blue = Cobalt
And
2 Dark(factors) on Blue = Mauve

For a single Dark factored (Blue) bird, you can call it either a Cobalt or a Dark Blue (both are correct).

And as Johan has already said- lacewing IS Pallid

Keep in mind that this website was started before the IndigoBlue was confirmed. Many of the pictured TurquoiseBlue birds are obvious IndigoBlues.

Yeah, I've noticed that- which is why there needs to be a new updated one (whatever happened to that project???)

so at the risk of sounding like a tool. from the web site above when i read over it. I have two cock birds both i was told yellow so (lutino) they both have a green or aqua through their tail etc like a wash. which kinda makes them look more electric yellow or fluro yellow not as dark as the other Lutino female i have or the others ive seen.
Would this make them not Lutino but infact Pallid-ino?

Sounds like it- do you have a picture?

I do but I can't seem to post it. keep being told its to spamy for a beginner or something!

I seem to have managed to add the photo as a signature. (after hours of trying) hope that helps

Yep, he's a Green Pallidino

I thought a pallidino would have a dark ring coming from the beak. That ring kind of represents a lutino more than a pallidino. My lutinos would show a green sheen under certain lighting conditions, much the same way an albino will show a blue sheen.

Admittedly, I only saw the pic on my mobile in which it looked as though it had a grey and pink ring- (am now on computer- but pic has gone so can't determine this) but the above (in bold) statement does make it sound as though there is not just Ino at play.

Edit- can see picture again and yeah, I still think Pallidino- however would like to see some without flash to be certain.

ok I will try to get better photos without flash. in person the aqua like green is more noticeable in the tail etc. than this photo. the hen I have is more of a dark block like yellow. in person his eye isn't red either the pupil is black and the other part of the iris is blue.

you may not be able to post them yet- but you should be able to pm them to me (if you want) without troubles
