Peter Smith, a senior lovebird breeder, uploaded it to several social media groups related to lovebirds. Several questions were in the comment column, but he did not respond.
That's how senior breeders are; they want to avoid leading wild opinions to a new phenotype in agapornis.
I'm highlighting one comment about the difference between Dominant Yellow suffused vs. Lutino.
Table of Contents
It is clear from the phenotype that the two birds are different; the Lutino has red eyes and flesh-red feet. Meanwhile, Dominant yellow suffused has black eyes with a slight reduction on the legs. It appears darker than flesh red but paler than the legs of DEC fischeri.
Lutino mode of inheritance is recessive, whereas Dominant yellow suffused is in harmony with the name and guess while having a Dominant mode of inheritance.
Characteristics of Dominant Yellow Suffused Lovebirds Mutation
Looking at the characteristics of Agapornis fischeri dominant yellow suffused then comparing with dominant edge lovebirds and sl dominant greywing mutations. Also, find out if this mutation is the same bird as the dominant reduce that was first introduced by the genetic Ornito Genetic.
Fischeri dominant yellow suffused vs SL dominant greywing
The edge pattern on the Dominant yellow suffused also raises the question of whether this is an SL Dominant Greywing Female? It is not in line with that.
The SL Dominant greywing female will appear more greenish when compared to what happens in the Dominant yellow-suffused phenotype, which pushes towards mustard yellow.
As the name suggests, the outer propeller on the female SL Dominant greywing will also be gray, with minimal yellowish accents.
Meanwhile, the Dominant yellow-suffused outer propeller encourages a more intense yellow color and is more dominant than white as the base color of the wings.
Fischeri dominant yellow suffused vs Dominant edged DF
There are several similarities when we compare Dominant yellow suffused with Dominant Edged DF (Double Factor). However, the edged DF phenotype does not consistently produce such a color in every offspring.
Coming to the conclusion that the name Dominant Yellow suffused has undoubtedly been studied regarding consistent ancestry. The color of the legs on DF Edged will also appear darker.
So is fischeri dominant yellow suffused the same bird as Dominant reduced?
Editing from Ornito in several related articles, Dominant Reduce always highlights the characteristics. The feet and hooves are slightly paler than Dec, and the rump color is more present, more blue.
Flight feathers are variable in color. The outer vanes are yellow, the edges are gray on some feathers, and some areas, like the recessive pied, have a light green wash. Which is similar to the Dominant yellow-suffused phenotype.
Whether Dominant yellow suffused is the new name for what was previously called Dominant reduced or is this a different phenotype, it is worth waiting for the continuation of the research.
