new mutation?

[aviario vera]

This Gould was born a year and half ago. has a white throat and told me I had to wait until next year to move out. if when he went out again moved the white throat would be a mutation and if you removed was not a mutation.
in short, has moved two times and still has a white throat.

Looks like a white breasted greenback mutation to me.

The bird in the 1st vid is a standard BH WB GB But the bird in the 2nd vid is not a standard RH PB GB. Not with that little white spot under the chin. To early to say for sure that it is a new mutation, but can't discount it yet either. Moving him is irralavent. If he goes through a full adult moult without losing this spot and no other unrelated bird shows the same spot I would be quietly confident. Regardless, in the meantime provided he is as healthy as he looks and provided you still have his mother and she is also healthy. I would put them to nest together. As this is the surest way to bring out a mutation. If mum is not possible a sister would do. Why mum in preference to a sister? becaue if it is sex linked you achieve nothing. This is what I would do if he was mine.
By the way from the distress shown by the bird in the first vid, if it was me I would half the time I vid the birds for.

Ok your talking about the second video sorry.Dito what finchbreeder said,It is a very interesting bird indeed.We have one member here who has a bird with a split head colour being red on one side and black on the other,A very strange one aswell.Anyway good luck with it.You have a very extensive setup there aswell liked the film clip for tv.

Southy here on the finchforum has something reasonably similar. southy? any comments?

probably split for rh yb purple breast when white spots like that show up.

I think that might be something to do with translation, I think aviario vera means the bird has moulted twice.

I think the white box and the bright light upsets the birds ability to get a handle of the surroundings , as said the bird does look distressed .

Good evening, I've been talking to several judges and all have assured me that is a new mutation. greetings

I'm pretty sure they are splits, not new mutations.
I have seen a few around different collections here in Oz.
