Additionally, while Bourke's parakeets lacking a color mutation can often be sexed visually, males and females with a color mutation cannot. [18] There have been recorded instances of the Bourke's parrot producing hybrids with the scarlet-chested parrot (Neophema splendida). [19] [20]
Beyond the base coloring of a rosy-faced lovebird, there are mutations that exist independently of any other mutation. These mutations are of three distinct types: co-dominant (exemplified by the Orangefaced, Dark and Violet mutations), recessive (exemplified by the Edged Dilute mutation), and sex-linked (exemplified by Lutino, Pallid [also known as Australian Cinnamon], American Cinnamon, and ...
The most easily bred are Bourke's parrot (as Neophema), the scarlet-chested parrot (N. splendida), the turquoise parrot (N. pulchella), and the elegant parrot (N. elegans). The most difficult and uncommon captive is the rock parrot (N. petrophila). Aside from Bourke's parrot, all are distinguished as predominantly green birds.

There are three common color mutations of this parakeet. These colours are Lutino, Blue, and Albino (combination of Blue and Lutino). The natural, or 'normal' color is green. There are two types of blue, one blue winged and the second is bright blue wings and bright blue head. A male princess parrot perched on a branch.
The blue mutation was originally found in wild birds in the 1920s and is the oldest colour mutation known in the lovebird genus. [ 4 ] [ 6 ] The other mutations are a result of selective breeding in aviculture, such as two cobalts which will make a mauve (black). [ 4 ]
This is the first time a blue color mutation has been recorded in the magnificent tree frog, according to AWC. “It was after dark when we first spotted it, perched on a bench in the workshop ...
