Gunnsa, within the red fronted, there are color mutations. It means the bird is the same species as the green (wildcolor), just the color is different.
(there are also yellow-fronted mutations)
I'm glad they ended up in good hands, and that the kakarikivirus is spreading!
May, one of the parents looked like the green one in your pictures. I didn't know that there was such a bird as yellow red fronted, I thought that the only ones in captivity were red fronted or yellow fronted. Thanks a lot!
Steptoe, the book debate is more on an intellectual level than a real nuisance, taming and training of the birds is in reality going very well.
so both parents were green but one had a yellow cap? ..... is so .... the shop keeper was right...!! but wow..... i dont know how they produced such wild colour babies...!!!!!
the yellow bird in my pic is a red fronted bird.... but its a mutation so although it has only been bread from red fronted birds.... they have been selected to produce babies that are yellow. There are lots of different mutations.... check out the gallery .... a mutation is different to a hybred which is a cross between 2 different species.... red fronted and yellow fronted or their descentents.
But as you say... if your not intending to breed them it doesnt really matter.
my birds used to eat my books too ..... they particularly liked the "good house keeping cookery book" i layed a bunch od telephone directories along the top of the books and let them chew on them instead _________________ May........
