Very different... wouldn't it be a half sider something... You get those sort of things in other birds...

Not quite a Halfsider but you do get them in Lovebirds, this is more a "Multicolour"

Wow, thats amazing. It will be interesting to see whether or not it is genetic or aquired? Is the bird a young bird? Thanks for sharing.

He's a 2004 bird but the debate still goes on whether he's a halfsider or multicolour, he doesn't show alot of the pied in the multicolour, nor does he have the distinctive vertical line of the halfsider

Could it be a new mutation like Yellow Breast Half-Sider etc...

He's definitely not a mutation, more a modification.

I would say he is deffinately a half sider, which is actually an aquired mutation not a genetic mutation. These are birds that are normal split blue. What happens is something goes wrong in the developing embryo that de-natures the green gene in part of the bird allowing the blue to become shown. It does not have to be exactly half the bird, just and area on the anima. It can happen to humans aslwell such as mis coloured eyes or hair patches (like rouge from x men lol). A singer named bonnie Raitt has red hair, but when she was a embryo something mutated in the cells at the front of her head so that instead of producing hair colour they produced no colour at all giving her a white patch at the front www.montereyjazzfestival.org/2006/press/images/bonnieraitt_hires.jpgcheck it out
