Thumbs up Olive Fischer Lovebird

The beautiful Olive Fischer Lovebird (DD green) or is it (SF) D green ? in comparison with the Wild colour.

I can't really see the entire rump area... it looks like there's a little blue there? A single dark factor would make the rump a darker blue than the normal Fisher's. A double dark factor would make the rump grey.

In the second photo, it looks like a grey rump. In the last photo, it looks like I can see a hint of blue but I'm not sure if it's the angle or lighting or something?

Thanks you guys, looking at the rump in person it is definetly grey so I think it's the light in the photo that shows up that little bit of blue. I'll go with the DD green (olive).

I don't know if you are into color mutations and genetics with lovebirds, but if you are the best book that I have found is The Colored Atlas of Lovebirds by Alessandro D'Angieri. The book is amazing and filled with beautiful pictures of the different mutations.
