Mutation African grey parrot for sale.

Mutations in African Grey Parrots, while less common than in some other parrot species, do occur and can result in unique and visually striking variations from the typical wild-type appearance. Here’s a description of some known mutations in African Grey Parrots:

  1. Pied Mutation: Pied African Greys exhibit patches of white or lighter-colored feathers mixed with the typical gray plumage. These patches can appear on various parts of the body, including the head, wings, and tail. The extent of pied markings can vary among individuals.
  2. Lutino Mutation: Lutino African Greys lack melanin pigment, resulting in a predominantly yellow or light-colored plumage. Their eyes may be red or pink, and they often have lighter-colored beaks and feet compared to wild-type African Greys.
  3. Blue Mutation: Blue African Greys have a dilution of the typical gray coloration, resulting in a bluish or slate-gray appearance. This mutation affects the intensity of the pigmentation, giving the bird a unique and visually striking hue.
  4. Cinnamon Mutation: Cinnamon African Greys have a lighter and warmer tone to their plumage compared to the typical gray coloration. The feathers may exhibit a cinnamon-brown hue, particularly noticeable on the body and wings.
  5. Pearl Mutation: Pearl African Greys display a speckled or “pearlized” pattern on their feathers, characterized by small, lighter-colored spots or flecks interspersed throughout the plumage. This mutation can create a beautiful and intricate pattern on the bird’s body.
