Thank you.. Baby number 3 hatched this morning.. Here is dad he is a YFT2 cinnamon violet.. He doesn't look violet thats because the yellow bleeds through aand turns the purple green.. So what I am after is a White faced violet pied and not cinnamon would be perfect.. This is Dad with his 2nd daughter .. This is his first doughter.. She is a SF cinnamon cobalt dom pied . Dad again with fostered baby in the back ground.

Lovely! More babies to see! I love his second daughter, she's gorgeous! How can you tell he is violet? I thought violets had to have the purple cheek patches & his look dark blue - or is that my monitor?

See how he is a greyish violet colour. As he got older and started to moult he has turned the green colour you see today. Breeding him to Princess I will hopefully get a white faced violet bird.. another one when he was young.. I have a recessive pied hen violet and will breed her soon too..

I can definately see it in his younger pictures. I guess the type 2 thing is what makes it hard to tell when he's older.
Good luck getting white faced violet. I've got a cinnamon dom pied violet male, he's gorgeous! Pity you didn't live closed we could let him & your girl pair up.

Oh no! I'm not sure what to say.... I've lost clutches before, so you have my sympathy.
