Last year, I wrote about pallid shortly after the mutation was introduced, continuing in subsequent articles about the development of pallid by pallid breeders around the world.
In this article, I will explain some differences between pale and pale pallid. Palepallids result from a combination of pale x pallid crosses for those who don't know about this mutation.
Pale is a snippet of alleles in the same locus as the recently discovered pallid lovebirds, which have been around for a few years. So, a combination can be named by splicing the two mutation names together without spaces.
This is the same as the DECino combination between DEC x NSLino, pastelino, a combination between pastel and NSLino lovebirds, and then the latest is blue1blue2, a combination between blue1 and blue2 lovebirds.

Like the combinations above, pale and pale children have different color characteristics from their pale and pale parents.
Differences in characteristics of pale vs. palepallid lovebirds mutation
Let's compare Pale and Palepallid lovebirds in this guide. Learn the differences in characteristics, from wing feather color and nail and foot color to the genetic characteristics of these two mutations.Differences based on pale vs. palepallid gender
In terms of gender, you need to know that Pale (can be male or female) is only male, while PalePallid (only male) has no PalePallid females. These two things are already among the easiest differences to understand.
The Difference is the pattern on the wings between pale vs. palepallid
Pale with a dark color (rachis) of the primary wing feathers, the "rachis" looks much darker. It is more faded than the wild-type color but still has a dark hue.
- PalePallid, where the color (rachis) of the primary wing feathers is faded (white). This is one level lower than pale.
Differences in nail and foot color between pale vs. palepallid
- The color of the hooves and feet of Pale lovebirds tend to be paler than PalePallids (a bit unique, interesting: because the PalePallid Phenotype is intermediate Pale and Pallid where the feet of both mutations are pale, but PalePallid feet are slightly darker than Pale, while Pallids are very pale to pink haze).
Some of the cases we share here are taken from broodstock: 1.0 Green/Pallid Blue1 x 0.1 Pale Blue1Blue2 From the
above self-breeding broodstock, it is clear that in theory, SL Recessive will not produce visual "Pale" offspring even
if they are females. Especially "Pale" Males.
Females alone cannot because the male parent is only /Pallid,
and if it appears Pallid even then with prominent eye characteristics that are different from hatching to 2 months
of age, it is still red-brown. And the visual Pallid must be female.
In this case, PalePallid is definitely
male, so the composition of the broodstock above is a "safe" composition for us to present the results of its breeding
in this post. (indeed, there is still something safer to be more confident and easy to understand than 1.0 Pallid x
0.1 Pale) Next time, we will share the results of breeding compositions like this.
A little review of the
two mutations: Pale and Pallid and Heterozygot SL-recessive one SL-Ino locus we discussed (PalePallid). It will
provide insight for us.
