Have you ever seen these mutations?

Please take a look at this page: http://www.geocities.com/petsburgh/z.../mutation.html

Very interesting looking birds. I have never seen the white & blue scarlet macaw before.

That sight is kind of depressing to me! Most of those birds don't look real healthy....I'm hoping it's just the resolution of the pictures though!

I haven't seen those mutations....I have a blue mutation Indian Ringneck, but he's VERY healthy and has bright, full plumage

The feather duster budgies are suffering from french molt. They are not mutations or hybrids.

I don't actually think the feather duster budgies have french molt, as french molt causes the birds to loose their flight feathers or to say worse than a heavy molt with many tail and flight feathers breaking. The feather dusters aren't really able to break a feather because they lack the ability to (probably). A feather dusters feathers are soft and do not have the hard barbules (hence why the feathers are not straight) and their feathers grow excessively long (not molting out, but growing long...).

As far as mutations go, here is an incomplete list (still looking for grey mutations, as well as eclectus ones-not so much into the smaller birds however)...

I think I actually found a mutatino that I've never seen before, and it does interest me... I think they might be 'lutino' cherry heads (sure looks like them with the red on the head, thighs, and wings, add to that the body size.... but I couldn't find any specific information on this bird so it might not be).

Upon somewhat further investigation, this is actually a female lutino nanday conure... which looks quite a bit like a cherry head in those colors, minus the green! It would however explain the light colored chest...

yes, I have seen this page of mutations before. There are MUCH better pictures of that B&G in that mutation.
Anyone here seen a sky blue mutation of a yellow nape amazon? The pictures are amazing, but they do not do these birds justice. To see them in person is awesome.
