I don't know what that color is called. If anyone finds out,
let me know too.

My grey bird's parents are:
Ma: Whitefaced Australian cinnamon violet.
Pa: Whitefaced Australian cinnamon.

Grey bird's mother's parents (her grandparents) are:
Ma: Dutch blue.
Pa: Dark violet pied w/DDF. (I'm not sure pa is a violet
because he's really dark and not very blue either)

I don't know any history of the grandparents boyond this.

The grandparents have always thrown violets with SDF and WFACV
with SDF, always females too. (I kept the first clutch of 4
females, 2 WFACV and 2 violets, and they're paired up now and
breeding) They have never thrown a pied. The babies I kept
have never thrown a pied either.

I'll have to check the flight feathers of the two violet birds
I kept back to see if they have any white flights, right now I
can't remember and it's late at night and they're sleeping.

But those two violets I kept back have each had two cluches
and there were no pieds in those clutches either. One is
paired with another violet and they throw three different
shades of blue.

Here's a picture of the grandparents. (mother of gray bird's
parents)
