Obi is very handsome! He is actually a pearl though. Love that dark beak.

He's a lovely pearl!

Really the breeder said yellow pied!
Oh pearl.....
He's lovely whatever

Yes this sure looks like opaline (= pearl) He is very handsome!

Some breeders don't know their mutations lol. I've talked to lots of people where the breeder told them the wrong mutation. It's surprising how many people think that a heavy pied bird is a lutino for example, because it's got a lot of yellow on it.

I think not all breeders know what they're doing

I only started looking into mutations and genetics after my birds had nests... That's how I stumbled on this forum

Well you came to the right place. Carolyn is a living encyclopedia of genetics.

That and then some All bow to Carolyn!! (finally found a use for that emo haha)

Obi is beautiful! Thanks for sharing his pic
