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

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?

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.

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!

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...
