ok so I got a new lovie :)

[mjm8321]

He's a cutie. Could be a Seagreen or a Dutch blue, but hard to tell without a clear picture of the beak.

His face is completely white except for the orangish strip over his eyes. the green is a light green all over his body except for the purplishblue butt but I'll try to get better pictures when its lighty in the house tomorrow

Just checked his beak and it is clearly pink at the top to a cream color near the tip.. uhmm what does that mean? hehehehe

That sounds like a seagreen. Just like Ditto's beak.

Gina,

Heiney!!!!! I love it!!!! Your hubby is much better at names than my hubby. We have three cats, Orange, Fred and Ms. Kitty. Yep, he named them all

Heiney is a cutie pie. That sounds like male behavior to me, but then again, we have been fooled before

[MrsDutchy]

woohooo much better pictures are in the album nowwwww!!!
Check them out!! http://gina.xtcfm.com/wp-gallery2.ph...&g2_itemId=864

oh and you can see from some of the pics that he has some spots of missing feathers on his chest, I am not sure if its molting or from plucking

Hi Gina!

Heiney is definitely a cutie . I'm not at all good with mutations, but he kind of reminds me of Barb's hen, Gracie, and I think she's a whiteface seagreen lovie. As for the missing feathers in his chest that you mention, I didn't really notice any bald spots. In any case, regular molting should never leave bald patches. Bald patches are usually a sign of plucking or some other problem, so a vet visit could be in order if you really think he's looking light in the feather department. That said, I think Heiney looks pretty healthy and featherful (that's probably not a word in english, but I hope you know what I mean) to me .

Congrats on your new fid, and thanks for posting the pictures!

yeah its not bald, per say but a bit spotchy and you can see if in a few of the pictures. I see a few of what looks like small chest feathers on teh bottom of the cage so maybe its a molt. He seems VERY healthy and he's a big boy.. huge compared to my other 2 masked lol

from what I can see of your pics heiney looks to be a dutch blue or sea green, I think a white face has to have a complete absence of peach coloring around the face, and I think I see the little peachy orange headband that is typical of dutch blue and/or sea green.
He's a beautiful bird
