Ink waist olive green peach, as the name suggests, feather color characteristics are different from the original green peach two obvious features are: one is that most of the feathers around the body are olive green, because it is very similar to the livery of the tank, also called tank green; the second is that the waist is dark black, in addition to the top color and color is red, the mouth shell, flying feathers, feet are exactly the same as the original green peach, so the variety name can be called the ink waist olive green peach according to the plume color.
The original green peach, i.e. the wild native species (nominate subspecies) of the peach-faced peony parrot, has a blue waist
The ink-waisted olive green peach, the waist color tail tip can be seen as ink color, and the flight feathers and feet are black, not cinnamon, but the same as the original green peach. (Screenshot here)
The average person is generally referred to as the tank green peach, and does not say the waist color, in fact, the cause of the olive green feather color is precisely related to the ink color waist. The number of genes inherited by the ink color gene (dark gene) is the cause of the body feathers appear olive green, the change in the structure of the feather branches, so that the naked eye looks ink color, which is the cause of the ink color peony parrot, the more dark genes the darker the ink color. The dark gene darkens the phenotype of green feathers, reflecting dark green, olive green. And the waist was originally blue, in the performance of the dark gene, it reflects the ink color, the performance of the waist color and the body color are slightly different, personal speculation about the number of structural color variations of the genetic gene in the waist is doubled, the double gene only shows a deeper ink color and the purple of the violet gene, yes tank green peach also has a purple waist, it should also be relatively rare, of course, more common than the green peach of the ink waist, and will be introduced later. Of course, the reason why the waist color of the artificial breed of peony parrots is rich is also related to the blue waist color of the original green peach.
The number of olive green peaches in the ink waist is not much, it is too difficult to find, and it is not easy to find photos that can take photos of the waist color, which is still a 15-year post. (Screenshot here)
