Re: question about my new baby love bird/ oh yeah
Posted by Andie on 6/02/06

I'm not sure what kind of bird your friend is talking about,
but there is no such mutation as "limey" in lovebirds, unless
the bird is british =D. It's always hard to say without seeing
the bird. If you have pictures that would help. But, from
what you're describing your bird should be either an American
Cinnamon or an Australian Cinnamon. The difference lies in the
degree of lime color. I have pictures of both I will post for
you for comparison. They call them cinnamons because of the
grey/brown flight feathers.

The darker green one on the right is an American Cinnamon. The
picture makes her look a little bit darker than she really is,
but she is a dark lime green color with dark cinnamon colored
flights.
