Seagreen

A "seagreen" (or "apple green" in Europe) is a bird with a single Dutch blue gene and a single whiteface gene. The result is a greenish bird with the canteloupe forehead of a dutch blue. It also has a distinguishing upper beak. The top half (toward the face) will be pink (like that of a whiteface) and the lower half (towards the tip) will be more of a horn color like a Dutch blue or green peachface.

Here is a seagreen.

(Remember, this is basically a Dutch blue bird with a single whiteface factor. Two are needed for a true whiteface.)

This is a medium seagreen violet.

(He has a single dark factor, making his overall body color darker.)

You will notice also that the bib is much whiter than on a Duttch blue bird, which would have a cream colored bib.

Here is a close-up of two seagreens' rumps. The one on the left is a seagreen violet. The one on the right is a medium seagreen.

And of course, seagreen can be combined with other mutations. Above is a baby seagreen pied violet. A very pretty combination, I think. Can't wait til he reaches adult coloring. He should be stunning.
