This young male also had intense colouring at fledge. None of the other 10 fledglings from the 2 clutches are this intense.
Can't wait for moulting time

The bird I'm seeking info on is on the far left - the olive yellow one, which is from the same clutch as the blue fledgling in the middle.
Do you think the olive yellow one will just moult out to a normal green back or is it possibly something else?
I really have no idea on history of the parents - apart from them both being split to blue after getting 2 blues from the first clutch this year.
So I guess my question is, is it possible the parents also carried other mutations?
The cock was a red head/black head, purple breast, green back/blue and hen black head, standard purple breast, green back/blue.
Sorry for any ignorance RE: Genetics, the split for blue was a surprise as thought I had purchased normal birds, I'm not complaining though

Looks very brightly coloured. Any chance of a 2nd pic in the shade?

That colour is a lot different in colour to the one on the opposite end, could be a new mutation

Rich colouring, but agree, probably a pair of normal/split. Still good to have nice bright birds.
