Hi Guys,
This is my first entry on this forum. I am so glad it exists because I am really struggling to find consistency in identification of various colours.
I had a pair of normals about a decade ago and was only recently hooked again when I stumbled across a Pied male. (I think) But typical of a new breeder, I went and purchased a variety of birds including some normal cocks. (I still like the original colour)
One of the cocks that I bought was through a pet shop, so I am unaware of the breeding. However, this bird has what I can only best describe as yellow pearling around the red feathers on his rump. He also has yellow pearling around the small green feathers on the wing past his elbows.
I will have to catch him in order to obtain a photo as he rarely uncrosses his wings, therefore I only occasionally see the rump feathers.
Could he be split for opaline?? Would love you input.
Cheers
Elke
