Mystery Bourke Parakeet, Part 3

Our Mystery Bird is weaned and ready to take off to her new home. She was DNA'd as a hen.

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.

a Rubino Bourke in back.

a Rubino Bourke from an earlier clutch. Their mother
is a Lutino Bourke named Starfire.
