The power of selective breeding and mutations...
Was taking a few pictures of my birds today and caught my normal male turquoisine sitting next to my full red fronted opaline dilute (yellow) male turquoisine - same species, but looks completely different due to mutation and selective breeding to increase the amount of red.
That's amazing! Almost as cool as the red African Greys.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of red. My breeding season starts in just over a month. I'm hoping to breed some very red yellow opalines this year.
