- There are many different color mutations of lovebirds due to both, natural mutations and selective breeding.
Some lovebird colors are rarer than others, and some are only found in certain parts of the world. In this article, we will explore some of the most popular lovebird colors and mutations.
There are 9 species of lovebirds - all with different color specifications. So let’s have a closer look at each lovebird species and their colors and some mutations.
Albino Fisher’s Lovebirds
Pied Fisher’s Lovebirds
Black or Dark Eyed White Fisher’s Lovebirds
Dilute Blue Fisher’s Lovebirds
Dilute Yellow Fisher’s Lovebirds
Lutino Fisher’s Lovebirds
Cinnamon Fisher’s Lovebirds
But there are also new mutations such as the Euwing and Opaline mutations.
The Opaline mutation extends the mask of the lovebird to almost cover the entire head to the shoulders. And the tip of the tale then will have the same color as the face.
The Euwing mutilation will come again in various types such as the Green Euwing mutation that produces a yellow gradient on the wings, and the Blue Euwing mutation that produces a gradient of gray colors.
This is very exciting to breeders since the Euwing mutation can be combined with many other mutations and really broadens out the color possibilities immense.
