Australian Yellow Face or Orange Face Fischer must be officially listed on the mutation table. Evidently, in the mutation table published by Ornito Genetics, there is still a question mark in the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri column.
Just to remind you, so that color variants can be accepted and recognized as new mutations, specific criteria must be adhered to:
- Color variations should be clearly distorted and distinguishable from the wild types. It should also be clearly deviant and distinguishable from existing and recognized mutations.
- Color variations should be maintained until the bird becomes an adult.
- The characteristics of the same color should always be inherited by the offspring of the variant.
- Inheritance mode must be identified. Sometimes meeting these criteria is more challenging than it may appear at first glance. So there must be a breeding test.
I think the Australian Yellow Face/ Orange Face has fully occurred and
practiced for the above criteria.
But this certainly will not
reduce the enthusiasm of aviculture to make purchases and breeding tests on
the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri.
Some aviculture
continue to work behind the scenes in reporting breeding tests and may arrive
at the delivery of fur samples for research by Ornito Genetics.
This will be very helpful for advancing Ornito's Genetic research on the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri. It gets to the point where, at the end of the conclusion, publish it.
Background and facts of the Australian Yellow Face lovebirds
At the beginning of the emergence of this type, many versions of the name
Indonesian Yellow Face,
Australian Yellow Face, Orange Face, and
some journals even indicate Pale_headed.
This may still be PPR (Partial Psittacine reduction) based on phenotype vision
on the Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri.
This may still
be PPR (Partial Psittacine reduction). Where the reduction only occurs in red
Psittacine.
This is evident in the Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri phenotype,
where masks that should be reddish-orange are sometimes reduced to yellow or
orange.
The reduction also occurs in the beak, which should be red
and yellow after mutating into Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face
Fischeri.
In the part of the body, hair does not degrade because
basically, in this part, there is no red psittacine or very minimal.
Also,
based on several reference journals, only Melanin, Yellow Psittacine, and
Structural blue dominate the fur of body parts.
So that the body
hair of the Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri will remain colored
like a wild type / Green Series.
The same thing also happens when there is a dark factor, a violet factor, and a combination with pastel or NSLino.
Australian Yellow
Face/Orange Face Fischeri's body hair will still show in Dark Green, Green SF
Violet, and Pastel Green.
Yellow Face is Available in Indonesia and Australia
Until this article was published, Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face
Fischeri was observed to be only available in Indonesia and Australia.
It
can be seen from the social media posts of their local group.
There
may also be other worlds. You can contribute to the comments column below.
Recently, Agapornis breeders from the Philippines have also started bringing Australian
Yellow Face/Orange Face Fischeri to their aviaries.
Yellow Face born with yellow down feather.
Chicks on Agapornis already have different feathers after they hatch.
Reddish
orange plumage color for wild types and green series, and white plumage for
blue and white descending series also occurs in blue1blue2.
Meanwhile, Australian Yellow Face / Orange Face Fischeri showed a yellow color for
their first fur.
You can see the difference in the images I
include.
Yellowface occurs only in Green Series Agapornis
As we already know, in Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face, Fischeri works by
reducing red Psittacine in feathers. This will certainly see the effect only
on the green series.
While in the blue series or CPR (Complete
Psittacine Reduction), red Psittacine and yellow Psittacine have been reduced
completely, so the mutation effect of Yellow Face or Orange Face may not be
seen in the blue series.
It is the same as that experienced in
albinos. Ultimately, we can only see the white phenotype, not the combination
with other mutations.
Many cases of albino x albino couples produce
edge chicks, pied, and others.
Australian Yellow Face/Orange Face, Fischeri in the blue series,
is likely also a genotype still carrying the Orange Face / Yellow Face
gene, only they have blue phenotypes.
In the future, when crossing
with the Green Series, chicks will inherit the Orange Face / Yellow Face
Phenotype from the blue.
What is still possible is the combination
of Australian Yellow Face Fischeri with PPR mutations (Partial Psittacine
Reduction) such as Blue1blue2 and Aqua Fischer.
Yellowface is Autosomal Recessive
Until this article was published, MOI (Mode Of Inheritance) of the Yellow Face
or Orange Face variant was recessive. This refers to several sources.
So, we must have two gene factors to get F1 with Fischeri's Australian Yellow Face
phenotype. When we work with split birds, both parents should bring a Yellow
Face gene career.
It resembles the MOI Agapornis Orange Face in the
Roseicollis or Peachfaced species.
While Pale_headed MOI showed
that they are Autosomal Incomplete Dominant
Yellowface's price is fantastic.
In Agapornis, hobbies such as being commonplace, the price will be high when
one variant is still rare and the latest.
Everyone in the Agapornis
hobby certainly wants to have and multiply immediately. Both for research and
business purposes.
Just a note from the Mutabase database: I
included the table below that they are available in parts of Oceania, including
Australia.
Here I show you a database of mutabase about the details of the Australian Yellow Face with the code "of " *orange Face. Status is rare and available in Oceania/Australia.
How the story of the Australian Yellow Face or Orange Face continues in the future will be very interesting to look forward to.
It has been a combination of the orange face / yellow Face mutations until now.
