TRICKY! :cool:

 

Thought it would be too much of a coincidence that I just read about the QOB Conure and there it was. Never would have guessed Zon.....but so beautiful. Sometimes mutation isn't a bad word! :rolleyes:

Color Mutations are still "pure" birds. They occur in nature, but often do not survive if the "new color" is too vibrant and they are easily spotted by predators. Color mutations in captivity are perpetuated by breeding like colored birds to like colored birds (of two birds that carry the color gene). The resultant offspring will often be the color that is desired. After many generations, a color mutation can be "magnified" or combined with other colors if they are available in that species.

Lutino and blue mutations and myriad variations have been produced in aviculture. Tommy - a beautiful and rare mutation double headed amazon. According to his owners, he is a great pet. He likes attention and wants to be close to the action. He can be very vocal screaming "come here, come here!" Like just about all parrots, he likes to discipline by biting from time to time. Training is recommended to prevent undesirable behavior.
