Also, if anyone knows what 'flavor' the light green bird is let us
know.. we think it's a cinnamon, but not sure. It's a light
greenish-yellow, with light gray rump and flights, and a dark grey/white
tail.

What colors were the other birds in his clutch? I've raised similarly
colored peachies in the past that were cinnamon Dutch blues. Your bird
looks a little darker - perhaps a medium instead of a light.

lovebird in a pet store yesterday. It was all steel grey in color. What
would be the proper name for the color? I would like to be able to ask for
it if I ever decide for one in the future.

pointed out shows one as a dutch blue. My semi-worthless book on
lovebirds has a virtually identical bird as their dutch blue labeled as
a pastel blue. I have also seen this mutation refered to in other
sources by one name or the other. Is there a difference? or are they
the same thing? I only ask because I never know exactly what to call my
pflb of that mutation or any of his babies.

---------------------
They're one and the same. I believe 'pastel blue' is an older name and I don't
recall seeing it used in books published after the 'whiteface blue' became more
prevalent. (Just an observation)
I think a lot of these name differences depend on the author's national origin.
Same deal with ringneck mutations. Then again, the books I have which refer
to 'pastel blue' lovebirds also claim that the Nyassaland lovebird remains a
popular pet choice in America and Europe. Have you ever seen the Nyassaland???
<g>
BTW, how is the conure?

Thanks. My book is by a foreign author. Now I have some more questions
concerning the "dutch blue" - Why? What is dutch blue supposed to mean?
Or pastel blue, there is nothing pastel about any of his parts that are
blue.
> BTW, how is the conure?
I assume you are refering to my "attack conure" who is almost his old
self again.

---------------------
I know what you mean. <g> You probably would have to write to the ALBS for
clarification on that one. (It wouldn't surprise me if they had a committee
that accepted proposed names and, one day, said: "Dutch! We'll go with Dutch
Blue - yep, that's the one!") To add to the fire, I personally prefer the name
of "Marine" that's used by some British authors. Peaches sorta has marine-type
or ocean coloration. (She has the attitude of a 'marine', too. <g>)
With many avians, an essentially blue bird results from successfully blocking
synthesis of lipochromes (usually reds and yellows) in the feathers. It's
possible to completely block lipochrome synthesis in ringnecks and (to choose a
bird closer to the pflb) I believe it can likewise be done with the
black-masked lovebird. They're obviously 'blue'. The genetics is generally
simple recessive. Well, the Dutch Blue/Pastel Blue/Marine pflb results from
the same sort of genetics and lipochrome block in the peachfaced, only the
block is incomplete. There is still quite a bit of yellow and red lipochrome
in the feathers of this mutation, so we don't really see them as blue.
Nonetheless, most authors refer to them as in the blue series to be consistent
with what is known about other avian species.
And I'm glad about your conure. <g>
SunSkater
answer any of your questions directly.
I do believe that the mutation is referred to as 'Dutch Blue' because it
originally appeared in Holland, in the early '60s.
(Ironically, Dr. Vriends, a Dutchman, always referred to them as 'pastel
blue').
Hope it helps.

I'm guessing, but there is a traditional kind of Dutch Delft ceramic dishware that
is white with blue paintings glazed on it. You've seen it, I'm sure. I'll bet
that is what gave the birds' color that name.
Now, I have a blue budgie that is definitely pastel, but I don't think he's really
called that. And I've seen budgies that were called pastel who weren't, if you
were using the term the normal way.
