Hi everyone,

I have 2 peach-faced lovebirds but i am not sure about their mutations based on their colors. Bellow is Casper and from little googling i think it is one of the following:
- Seagreen dutch-blue.
- American cinnamon.

But i am really confused... Could someone help me? Is it possible to tell what mutation was their parents?

I will upload a photo of my other lovebird as soon as possible.

Your lovebird is not Cinnamon because the flight feathers are grey instead of tan. Tan flights is characteristic of Cinnamons, among other things.

Since coloring seen on computer monitors is sometimes questionable, based on what I see, it looks like your lovebird is Seagreen (AquaTurquoise). That means the brow is apricot colored and the bib is creamy white. The beak is also two toned, starting as a pinkish horn at the top, below the nares, and fading to horn about halfway down. The term "Seagreen" means the baby only inherited one gene for Whiteface Blue from one parent and no gene for Whiteface Blue from the other.

Hope this helps.

Medium Orangefaced Green Peachfaced. That's the same thing as what you wrote, just written a bit differently.
