What Hybrid Is This?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looking good, more orange behind the gill plate for sure. I like your marbles convict there in the background. If I could find some nice ones like that around here I might pick a pair up, the most you see here have a dot of white on them or a dot of black, not much different than a regular one.
 
How's the fading coming along? Any more yellow or orange coming in? Mine started the break color yesterday and I got a couple pics today although it was hiding in the cave more.

I like the eyes and speckles showing through. Looks like there's more color underneath too, you got some really nice pics there. I have noticed the eyes usually go black during fading and they are last to fade back to normal too so the parrot has two black eyes rims for awhile.

Mine faded some more over the past week, I got a few shots last night of the progress.

I had a group of parrots with a ton of syns blood a couple years back.. Most of them faded small but two grew to about the size of a baseball without fading... granted they did have some syns blood and therefore underlying vieja colour patterns and thus the underlying genes conflicted with the fader genes probably... but eventually they did fade... at nearly the size of a softball. goes to show you never know. I was hoping they would stay unfaded but I have never seen this happen.
 
Yeah, mine laid for me last week. Although, the convict male is still giving her a hard time, so may look into rehousing her if he start damaging her, atm she swims away, but is still eating and trying to mind her iown buisness.
She is now out of breeding dress and is still showing no sign of fading if anything shes gone darker all over.
I also would love her to stay this way.

lusus, yours is defo on the fade, the orange is coming fast! you ought to post a video :-) and you camera skills are good too! really nice photo's
