Our "Mystery Bird" is a Pastel Cream fallow Bourke Parakeet. |
A DNA from Health Gene in Canada says she is female. |
All her colors are soft and muted: Pink, yellow, blue and gray. |
She won't darken as much as a male would, but her colors will become more pronounced as she matures. |
Bird in front is Sunset, the father of the Pastel Cream in the back. He is also a fallow Bourke. |
Because he is male, Sunset's colors are very bright. Pastel Cream fallow Bourke in center with her sister, a Rubino Bourke in back. |
Pastel Cream Fallow Bourke in front of her sister, a Rubino Bourke from an earlier clutch. Their mother is a Lutino Bourke named Starfire. |
Our Mystery Bird is weaned and ready to take off to her new home. She was DNA'd as a hen.
