Orange-chinned Parakeet for sale.
Orange-chinned Parakeet birds. Small, fast-flying parakeet of humid lowlands; restricted to the Pacific slope in the northern parts of its range. Favors forest patches and fairly open country with hedges and tall trees, including towns and villages. Usually seen in pairs or small flocks; associates readily at fruiting and flowering trees with much larger and longer-tailed Orange-fronted Parakeet. Flight is distinctively bounding, not direct like larger parakeets. Plumage is green overall with bronzy shoulders; small orange chin patch is very hard to see.
The overall plumage is green and some of the wing feathers are brown/bronze. There is some brown on the shoulders, and blue on the wings. It is named after the small bright-orange patch of feathers under its beak – although the orange feathers may not be visible depending of this parakeet’s posture and the angle it is viewed at. The beak is horn-colored.
Both male and female look identical and must be sexed either by DNA or surgically, if identifying the correct sex is of importance.
The orange-chinned parakeet is about 17.5Â cm (6.9Â in) long and weighs between 53 and 65Â g (1.9 and 2.3Â oz). It is mainly green and some of the wing feathers are brown/bronze. It has a small clump of bright orange feathers under its beak, hence one of its common names; although, the orange feathers may not be visible depending on the parrots posture and the viewing angle. Its beak is horn coloured.

Mutations in African Grey Parrots, while less common than in some other parrot species, do occur and can result in unique and visually striking variations from the typical wild-type appearance. Here’s a description of some known mutations in African Grey Parrots:
:
- Pied Mutation: Pied African Greys exhibit patches of white or lighter-colored feathers mixed with the typical gray plumage. These patches can appear on various parts of the body, including the head, wings, and tail. The extent of pied markings can vary among individuals.
- Lutino Mutation: Lutino African Greys lack melanin pigment, resulting in a predominantly yellow or light-colored plumage. Their eyes may be red or pink, and they often have lighter-colored beaks and feet compared to wild-type African Greys.
- Blue Mutation: Blue African Greys have a dilution of the typical gray coloration, resulting in a bluish or slate-gray appearance. This mutation affects the intensity of the pigmentation, giving the bird a unique and visually striking hue.
- Cinnamon Mutation: Cinnamon African Greys have a lighter and warmer tone to their plumage compared to the typical gray coloration. The feathers may exhibit a cinnamon-brown hue, particularly noticeable on the body and wings.
- Pearl Mutation: Pearl African Greys display a speckled or “pearlized” pattern on their feathers, characterized by small, lighter-colored spots or flecks interspersed throughout the plumage. This mutation can create a beautiful and intricate pattern on the bird’s body.
