In my neck of the woods, the Turquoise sell for more than the green. I like that sea green color

Re: Parrotlet Marshall

Re: Parrotlet Marshall
can you get a side shot that show the wings and back.... going to send your pictures off to a parrotlet breeding near me...he can explain the colors for you. Does your baby have the dark blue cobalt wing edges?

Re: Parrotlet Marshall
Mom is a dull turquoise but Marshall is not, he is a normal split yellow turquoise. Dad, the breeder said looks like an American yellow, softer in color.
Need to see the wings spread out and the rump and tail.

Re: Parrotlet Marshall
Cindy... you never cease to amaze me!!! Thanks... I always just thought he was turquoise... You rule! I'll post a pic when he's done his molt.. he's changing more than I expected... Here is the only other pic i have of the parents, you can see the back of the dad better, but not wing spread, or a really good rump picture, but i figure I'd post it anyway. Thanks Cindy!

Re: Parrotlet Marshall
And yes he has the dark blue cobalt wings edges, (didn't see the post for some reason...) and when he opens his wings it looks like a big SPLAT of dark blue under there. I can put a better picture of him, but the parents, as it is I'm taking these pics from her website (nitasnest.com) That is the breeder I got them from... she said she had a really hard time finding stuff out about them the different kinds and even what hers were, she said people weren't very helpful...
