Themost popular of the lovebird species, in Australia and worldwide with more than 70 colour mutations occurring in the natural red face also yellow faced and white faced mutations. A pure wild type - normal is now considered rare in Australia. Photo credit: Gavin Goodhart
Australiancinnamon birds have ruby-colored eyes (this can fade quite a bit as they mature, but is very distinctive in babies). Left: Australian cinnamon hen; Right: Orangefaced Lutino Male. The lutino is a red-eyed mutation. The orange-faced mutation is STILL part of the peachfaced lovebird species - it is only a color mutation of that species.
Lets take a look to the new members of Pinoy na Aussie Pa's Aviary.Australian yellow face lovebirds!
HandRaised Peachfaces do not need to be purchased as a pair. It is recomended that one bird is purchase, so it will form a strong bond with you and your family, instead of forming a bond with a second bird. Train your bird up for 3 to 4 months before consisting purchasing a second Hand Raised Peachface, this will keep your first bird tame and
Male Mother: American Cinnamon Violet Peachfaced Lovebird; Father: Blue Pied Peachfaced Lovebird. The photographs of Buttercup never quite catch his true colors. In natural sunlight the violet pied markings can be rather subtle, more so than in the top picture. The violet rump is quite dark. The next photograph (left) shows this.
3 Golden Conure (Golden Parakeet) The golden conure (Guaruba guarouba) is a strikingly beautiful parrot covered in almost exclusively yellow feathers. These medium-sized parrots are playful and intelligent. They love to chat and are skilled mimics. This breed will also imitate everyday noises and loves music.
Lovebirds like all birds, are very adapt at concealing their illness. This is a self-preservation mechanism, as the sick and the weak are the ones predators will focus on. By the time your lovebird looks ill, you can assume that your pet is seriously sick and is likely to deterioriate quickly unless appropriate treatment is provided.

Foreground Australian Cinnamon hen Australian cinnamon birds have ruby-colored eyes this can fade quite a bit as they mature, but is very distinctive in babies. Left Australian cinnamon hen; Right Orangefaced Lutino Male The lutino is a red-eyed mutation. The orange-faced mutation is STILL part of the peachfaced lovebird species – it is only a color mutation of that species. Matilda’s mask has still not completely colored out. She is about 7 months old here. Now the above birds are what are called “green series” mutations. If you have these same mutations in “blue series” mutations, they express themselves different, per the pictures below. Sydney below is a blue series Australian cinnamon. She doesn’t have any color in the face. The color you see the slight orange is just some color that came off her swing food coloring. Below is another photo of Sydney, the blue series Australian cinnamon hen. She is a baby in these three photographs less than 3 months old and her color has not fully developed.

Hybrids – Are you getting what you pay for??? There is a lack of knowledge on the types of lovebirds and hybridization is rife, particularly among the eye ring species. This article should hopefully make things a little clearer for the beginner to ensure they are buying pure birds. You should always buy your stock from a reputable breeder or pet dealer to ensure you are getting what you pay for. You will find that these will offer better value than other pet stores. Just because a pet store is a large chain that has a store in a shopping mall does not mean the staff will have knowledge of what they are selling you. Do your research before you buy. The ethics of genetic purity is a different debate altogether, but ask yourself why would you pay top dollar for a hybrid when you are being told it’s a pure bird? It’s a bit like buying a purebred dog with papers only to find it is crossed with something else. Crosses between eye ring Masked, Fischer’s, Nyasa and Peachfaced are quite easy to spot but inter crosses between the eye rings can be harder to spot to the untrained eye. The descriptions here refer to the normal or wild type colouration. Hybrids can still be attractive birds but the colours tend to be duller and the birds are less striking than the pure form. These are suitable as pets only. Under no circumstances should they be used for breeding. Eyering/Peachfaced crosses are normally sterile mules but inter Eyering crosses are fertile. Species should also not be kept in a mixed colony so cross breeding cannot occur. Should accidental cross breeding occur any offspring should be destroyed. Masked/Fischer’s Crosses The most common form of hybridization but also the hardest to pick for the novice buyer. The Fischer’s has a bright reddish/orange band around the forehead, cheeks and upper breast, fading to yellowish on the lower breast and green belly. Excessive darkness through the forehead, cheeks or head can indicate a hybrid. The breast should also be predominantly orange; too much yellow can indicate a hybrid. There should also be no yellow collar around the neck. The masked must have a pure black head; any hint of colouration in the fore head, excessive orange in the breast feathering is a good indication of a hybrid. Nyasa crossed to Fischer’s or Masked Any darkness in the head or cheeks. The rump should be pure green; any colour in the rump indicates hybridization with Masked or Fischer’s. The beak should be white at the top, fading to red where Fischer’s and Masked have a pure red beak. Peachfaced crossed to eye ring. Looks nothing like either species of bird. A peachfaced should also have no black in its face or head. Any hint of pink, redness or orange in the beak is usually a give away. Do not be confused with young birds that have a darker coloured beak with some black near the top The Photo presentation will hopefully give you a clearer picture of what to look for, comparing the hybrid birds with the pure strain. No two Hybrids will look the same but there are some characteristics to look for. Aaron Whelan Identifying Hybrids The top picture shows a Blue Masked Lovebird. Note the jet black head and cheeks, and white collar. The middle picture shows a Blue Fischer’s Lovebird. Note the white forehead and cheeks,grey head and collar. The bottom picture shows a hybrid bird. This bird is neither Fischer’s or masked, but has a mixture of features from head is neither jet black like the masked, nor the forehead and cheeks white like the Fischer’s, retaining a somewhat muddied and less brilliant appearance when compared to the pure form. Normal Masked vs Normal Fischer’s The top picture shows a Normal Masked, note the jet black head and cheeks, yellow breast and collar. The bottom picture shows a Normal Fischer’s. Note the red/orange forehead and cheeks, fading to yellow breast and green body. The head is slightly darkened and the cheeks are orange. These are mature birds, young birds that have not fully coloured may not be as bright. Masked/Fischer’s Hybrids These birds may look like masked but they are crossed to Fischer’s. The head is not jet black but look washed out with a suffusion of orange feathering. The chest and collar are not yellow but have a high proportion of The birds on the left have a slight orange coming though on the forehead orange coming though in the breast and are somewhat duller than the pure form. Fischer’s/Masked Hybrids These birds appear to be Fischer’s but are crossed to Masked. The birds on the top are shown with a pied Peachfaced. Note that the heads are too dark, the cheeks are dark and there is no bright reddish/orange on the forehead. Again the birds on the bottom are discoloured with dark head and cheeks, lack of bright reddish orange on the forehead. The general appearance is muddied and less brilliant than the pure form. Peachfaced/Eyering Hybrids These are the easiest Hybrids to spot. The bird on the top is a blue peachfaced. Note the absence of any black on the head and the horn coloured beak. The bird on the bottom is a Hybrid between a Blue Peachfaced and a Blue Masked. Note the black in the cheeks and the red-apricot colour on the bib. Also note the reddish tinge to the beak.

I published that Australian Yellow Face or Orange Face Fischer must be officially listed on the mutation table. Evidently, in the mutation table published by Ornito Genetics, there is still a question mark in the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri column. Just to remind you, so that colour variants can be accepted and recognised as new mutations, specific criteria must be adhered to - Color variations should be clearly distorted and distinguishable from the wild types. It should also be clearly deviant and distinguishable from existing and recognised mutations. - Color variations should be maintained until the bird becomes an adult. - The characteristics of the same colour should always be inherited by the offspring of the variant. - Inheritance mode must be identified. Sometimes meeting these criteria is more challenging than it may appear. At first glance. So there must be a breeding test. I think the Australian Yellow Face/ Orange Face has fully occurred and practised for the above criteria. But this certainly will not reduce the enthusiasm of aviculture to make purchases and breeding tests on the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri. Some aviculture continues to work behind the scenes in reporting breeding tests and may arrive at the delivery of fur samples for research by Ornito Genetics. This will be very helpful for advancing Ornito's Genetic research on the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri. It gets to the point where, at the end of the conclusion, publish it. At the beginning of the emergence of this type, many versions of the name Indonesian Yellow Face,Australian Yellow Face, Orange Face, and some journals even indicate Pale_headed. This may still be PPR Partial Psittacine reduction based on phenotype vision on the Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face may still be PPR Partial Psittacine reduction. Where the reduction only occurs in red Psittacine. This is evident in the Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri phenotype, where masks that should be reddish-orange are sometimes reduced to yellow or reduction also occurs in the beak, which should be red and yellow after mutating into Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri. In the part of the body, hair does not degrade because basically, in this part, there is no red psittacine or very minimal. Also, based on several reference journals, only Melanin, Yellow Psittacine, and Structural blue dominate the fur of body parts. So that the body hair of the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri will remain coloured like a wild type / Green Series. The same thing also happens when there is a dark factor, a violet factor, and also a combination with pastel or NSLino. Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri's body hair will still show in Dark Green, Green SF Violet, and Pastel Green. 1. Yellow Face Available in Indonesia and Australia Yellowface green Until this article was published, Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri was observed to be only available in Indonesia and Australia. It can be seen from the social media posts of their local group. There may also be other worlds. You can contribute to the comments column below. Recently Agapornis breeders from the Philippines have also started bringing Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri to their aviaries. 2. Yellow Face born with yellow down feather. The difference in birth feathers between yellow Face, Green, blue Chicks on Agapornis already have different feathers after they orange plumage colour for wild types and green series, and white plumage for blue and white descending series also occurs in blue1blue2. While Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri showed a yellow colour for their first can see the difference in the images I include. 3. Yellowface occurs only in Green Series Agapornis Differences between green opaline and yellow Face opaline As we already know that Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri works by reducing red Psittacine in feathers. This will certainly see the effect only on the green series. While in the blue series or CPR Complete Psittacine Reduction, red Psittacine and yellow Psittacine have been reduced completely, so the mutation effect of Yellow Face or Orange Face may not be seen in the blue series. It is the same as that experienced in albinos. Ultimately, we can only see the white phenotype and not the combination with other mutations. Many cases of albino x albino couples produce edge chicks, pied and others. Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face, Fischeri in the blue series, is likely also a genotype still carrying the Orange Face / Yellow Face gene, only they have blue phenotypes. In the future, when crossing with the Green Series, chicks will inherit the Orange Face / Yellow Face Phenotype from the blue. What is still possible is the combination of Australian Yellow Face Fischeri with PPR mutations Partial Psittacine Reduction such as Blue1blue2 and Aqua Fischer. 3. Yellowface is Autosomal Recessive Until this article was published, MOI Mode Of Inheritance of the Yellow Face or Orange Face variant was recessive. This refers to several sources. So we must have two gene factors to get F1 with Fischeri's Australian Yellow Face phenotype. When we work with split birds, both parents should bring a Yellow Face gene career. It resembles the MOI Agapornis Orange Face in the Roseicollis or Peachfaced species. While Pale_headed MOI showed that they are Autosomal Incomplete Dominant 3. Yellowface's price is fantastic. In Agapornis, hobbies such as being commonplace, the price will be high when one variant is still rare and the latest. Everyone in the Agapornis hobby certainly wants to immediately have and multiply. Both for research and business purposes. Just a note from the Mutabase database, I include the table below that they are available in parts of Oceania, including Australia. Here I show you a database of mutabase about the details of the Australian Yellow Face with the code "of " *orange Face. Status is rare and available in Oceania/Australia. How the story of the Australian Yellow Face or Orange Face continues in the future will be very interesting to look forward to. It has been a combination of the orange face / yellow Face mutations until now.
Normal Peachfaced Lovebird. Agapornis roseicollis Size 160mm The Peachfaced Lovebird is a sexually monomorphic species males and females lookalike. DNA or Surgical sexing is required to identify Males and Females with 100% accuracy The Overall colour is green , with the wings a shade darker a Red forehead , becoming deep pink on the chest, the rump is a sky blue, beak is a horn colour and a white eye ring. In the wild the birds inhabit arid area’s, stretching from Southwest Angola, Namiba and into Northwest South Africa. They are found in Broadleaf woodland, semi desert and mountain area’s within close proximity to permanent water. They feed mainly on seeds and berries. At times they are known to raid cultivated crops Millet and as a result are regarded as agricultural pests in rural area’s. Feral populations occur in some countries notably Arizona in the USA. The most popular of the lovebird species, in Australia and worldwide with more than 70 colour mutations occurring in the natural red face also yellow faced and white faced mutations. A pure wild type – normal is now considered rare in Australia. Photo credit Gavin Goodhart
