Pacific Parrotlet Color Mutation
|
 | Albino - Pure white parrotlet with red eyes. Males are visually indistinguishable from females unless held under a black light, blue becomes evident. DNA sexing can also be used to differentiate 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. |
| Fallow - Light yellow with beige and green. Bright yellow face and bright red eyes. Males retain blue markings that are lighter and have violet instead of blue markings. |
| Fallow-Blue - Combination of blue and fallow. Blue bird with red eyes. Males retain blue markings. |
| Fallow-Yellow - Combination of fallow and yellow. Bright yellow bird with red eyes. Different from lutino in that males retain blue markings. |
| Gray-Green - Green parrotlet with dark gray overcast. Eyes are dark. Males retain blue markings. |
| Lutino - Bright yellow parrotlet with red eyes. Males have white instead of blue markings. |
| Pastel (Formerly “European Yellow”) – Yellow-green bird with more green than the dilute. Males retain blue markings. Eyes are dark. |
| Pastel-Blue – Similar to dilute-blue i.e., sky blue coloring with dark eyes and males retain blue markings. Can be differentiated from dilute-blue by ‘lacewing’ type of pattern across wings. |
| Pied (Recessive) - Green bird with yellow feathers scattered over the body and head. Dark eyed and males retain blue markings. In the blue mutation, the yellow feathers are replaced with white. |
| Pied (Dominant) - Similar in appearance to recessive pied but the inheritance mode is dominant. So far, the only dominant mutation parrotlet. |
| Turquoise – A genetically incomplete blue with both green and blue markings; face is usually green with a blue body. Dark eyes and males retain blue markings. |
