sex. |
| Blue - Color can be light powder blue to
turquoise. Dark eyed mutation. Males retain dark cobalt markings. |
| Cinnamon (Recessive) - Also known as Isabelle
in Europe. Light yellow with more beige and green than fallow. Eyes are deep
ruby red. |
| Cinnamon (Sex Linked) - Also known as
"Pallid" in Europe. Similar in appearance to the recessive
cinnamon but the first known sex linked mutation. |
| Dilute (formerly "American Yellow") -
Yellowish green parrotlet with
black eyes. Males retain blue eye streak, flights, back and wings although
sometimes they appear violet. |
| Dilute-Blue (formerly "American White")
- Combination of the dilute and blue mutations. Light, sky blue with patches
of white. Dark eyes and males retain blue markings. |
