Roseicollis Green D or “Jade”
The “Roseicollis Green D” or “Jade” mutation you’re referring to is a color variant or mutation found in peach-faced lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis). Because of its darker and more vivid green hue compared to the wild-type or ancestral form, this mutation is commonly referred to as “Dark Green” or “Jade Green.”
The following are the essential features of the Roseicollis Green D or Jade mutation:
Body Color: The Roseicollis Green D, also known as the Jade lovebird, has a darker and more vivid green body than the wild-type green roseicollis. The FO (Feather Opaline) mutation is to blame.
Face Color: Like the ancestral form, the face of this mutation can range from peach to red.
Color of the Rump: The rump of the Roseicollis Green D or Jade lovebird typically displays a more intense and vibrant blue color compared to the wild-type.
Beak Color: This mutation’s beak remains flesh-colored, which is pinkish or peachy.
Nail Color: Like the wild-type, the nail color can still range from gray to black.
