I noticed there is no heading for love birds so i thought here would be the best place My new lovebirds, had been cabinet birds and are used to this so i cant put them in the aviary as they will fight. One pair atleast once a week escapes her cage with her mate but we are always able to catch them as they stay within sight of their cabinet... so cute... i was wondering if anyone could tell me the exact mutations....thanks The escapees  this is the hen  and this is the male   2nd pair  and this is the male  3rd pair a lutino and an olive  my creminos   My hen collecting palms...she looks like a lil porcupine  the cremino hen who is still young is attempting to make a nest  Thanks |

The escapees: Lutino cock and a blue hen
2nd pair : Mustard cock and a pied hen
3rd pair : lutino cock and an olive hen
4th pair : Creamino cock and hen
the Creamino cock looks like its molting in to a light mustard colour
if the hen is building a nest it might be older than i was told and hopefully it will breed for you this season i never gave them nesting material as you saw because i was told they were young and should be only 5 - 6 months old at the moment they should have been 4 months when i sold them !!
i hope this helps a bit
