Violet Par-blue Quaker Birds (Largo, FL)

Violet Par-blue Quaker Birds

Hello I have 9 week old baby Quakers ready to rehome they are drinking filtered water and eat 95% pellets and fresh veggies fruit sprouted seeds and some ewhole grain rice 5% quality brand seeds. Asking 320 to rehome these beautiful Quaker babies still trying to teach them to step up I found this helpful information online to see why the colors turn from blues to iridescent greens and why there was a prominent violet coloring on their heads like their father Romeo the mother Myla is a turquoise Ice blue color. So I am assuming these 9 week baby Quakers are Violet Par Blue Quakers DianeQuaker mutations Violet - Recently a mutation that appears to be a Violet mutation has been seen in Quaker parakeets. At this time some breeders are still working to prove and establish it is a Violet mutation. It behaves similarly to the known Violet mutation in that it is co-dominant and that a Single Factor bird produces one shade and a Double Factor bird produces a darker shade.Most of the above color mutations can be combined to create a new unique effect. Often some of the combinations are given names. The most common named combination is the Albino which is actually a combination between the Blue mutation and the Lutino mutation. The correct name for Albino would be Blue Lutino since it takes two mutations to create the Albino effect. Naming these combinations can cause some serious confusion when acquiring birds as you may not know what mutations are involved. Some breeders have begun calling these combinations by fancy names such as White-faced or Ice Blue in order to market them and unfortunately some people new to Quaker parakeet mutations think they have a new and or rare mutation.Blue The Blue mutation in Quaker parakeets is quite possibly the simplest to understand. Essentially this mutation inactivates the production of psittacine resulting in the expression of just the melanin and the structural color creating the blue color. The Blue mutation is an autosomal recessive mutation. In order to get a visual Blue Quaker parakeet both parent birds must carry the Blue mutation gene. In addition to being the simplest mutation it is also the first to appear in Quaker parakeets. The Blue mutation first appeared in the 1940 s in Belgium.Par blue The Par blue mutation occurs when the gene that causes the Blue mutation is partially activated allowing for some psittacine to be produced creating a color that is somewhere between blue and green. Depending on how much psittacine is produced birds can be more green (Turquoise) or more blue (Aqua). The Par blue mutation belongs the same genetic family as the Blue mutation. Like the Blue mutation it is a recessive mutation however it is dominant to the Blue mutation. The Par blue mutation in Quaker parakeets was first seen in Europe several years ago has just recently been seen in the United States and is currently being established.Dianelocated in Largo 33771 area Dianelocated in Largo 33771 area
