One of the very first lutino black cockatoos ever found that was discovered abandoned in the wild potentially due to its yellow plumage. It is completely lemon-yellow with a light-colored beak and red eyes. This bird is currently under the protection of the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and will not be bred or sold for its
A very rare hybrid first bred in 2024 by Jani Lauw of Parrot Castle in Indonesia. They are mostly green with a red and yellow belly, a red crown, a mixed-color beak, and a wide Great green-like face. Sambo macaws are 50% great green macaw, 25% military macaw, and 25% scarlet macaw.

A rare mutation developed in Thailand many decades ago. Pallid mustache parakeets are highlighter-yellow with a pale pink face and white mustache. Although it’s difficult to tell, their bellies are slightly lighter in comparison with the rest of their body color. A juvenile is pictured.
A recently-developed mutation in red-tailed black cockatoos. These cinnamons have a golden brown coloration, a lighter beak, and what appears to be slightly reddish crest feathers.

A rare blackish-violet hybrid with faded red and green in some areas. Their bills are a mix of orange and grey. In this instance, the black plumage from the black lory seems to have taken over the hybrid’s entire body.
A recently-developed mutation that is almost always combined with dark factor and turquoise. Like other violet mutations, the bird’s color is saturated and darkened slightly. Since violets are found in many Thailand breeding circles, the gene may have originated there. Pictured is a violet lineolated parakeet with SF dark factor and turquoise.
A par-blue mutation discovered in the Netherlands in the 1960s. When combined with aqua, an aqua-turquoise AKA dutch blue AKA seagreen is produced (pictured second).
A mutation that was first described in Belgium in 1970. It is nearly identical to a true blue mutation, but still retains a small amount of yellow pigment on its wings. When combined with aqua, a aqua-turquoise AKA dutch blue AKA seagreen is produced (pictured second).
