Willy I suspect that it is possible to have more Parblue phenotypes than we currently recognise. For instance in Scarlet-chested there are the birds with a...
Paul I have not had any follow up information regarding that Blue Fronted Amazon. regarding Khaki mutations. They may or may not be the same as the mutation...
Marj Those Ino offspring that are produced will mask the Violet gene, which would be a waste of such a valuable and attractive mutation. It is like Grey factor...
Hi to all, As there is no one up to date with this mutation in this species could I direct this question to Terry Martin him self. No doubt you are working on...
I would like to see 'Emerald' used for a Parblue that was close to wildtype in colour (roughly 25% reduction in psittacin or less). Terry Hey Terry & Every...
Hi Terry and everyone, The name Emerald is in wide use in USA in reference to an 80% melanin reducing mutation in the cockatiel. It has been determined to be...
Hello group members, I haven't posted in this list for at least a couple of years. I have a friend who believes he may have stumbled upon an interesting ...
Thanks very much Terry. We have four birds with this colouring from the same pair. we will keep them back and see if they moult out or retain the colour, if so...
Rick and perhaps Inte can comment? If the 'Emerald' Cockatiel is a Dilute mutation, how come the legs and bill lose colour, as I illustrated in the updated ABK...
Stephane We need to find the appropriate mutations first. The name is used alot by IRN breeders, but if all versions look like the birds Mick showed us, then...
Terry, Some Emeralds have lighter beaks and feet, some do not. There are precious few pure Emeralds anymore... many if not most breeders working with the...
Hi there everyone this discussion of the emerald cockatiel has caught my attention as I have previously posted pics (macs birds in the files section) of what I...
Hi Allan/Inte, Perhaps Inte would be interested in looking at feathers from your birds and compare them microscopically with those of the American Emerald....

Hello, My name is Deborah. I have a very small home-based aviary that consists of a couple pairs of cockatiels, a pair of Red Bellys, Two meyers (one...
Hi Deborah, Welcome to the group :) I don't post much (just listen and try and learn). I notice you mistyped your home page url (you missed an s) The full url...
Inte said ... Do you have any further thoughts to add about the pale legs and bill on most specimens, apart from Rick's suggestion of other possible mutations ...
Rick ... Many Australian breeders do believe the 'Olive' we have here and the 'Emerald' are one and the same mutation, there may even be a suggestion that our...
Dave and Terry The colour change can be described as a pied pattern. If the pattern is changing and progressing as you describe, then it make it a Mottled, if ...

Well, that is a good question. The breeder insists that it is a "dark phase" yellow cheeked emerald. It does have a very slight edging on the back. I need to...
re emerald cockatiels, this is 1 of 2 emails from the original breeder of the birds in question .the following email below is from a person in the usa back in...
Allan, The dominant yellowcheek seen in Florida has a very variable effect from chick to chick in every clutch. It's uncommon to see such a large reduction as...
