Gypsy face

(1/3) > >>

dak:
Can one of our genetic gurus (Mike, John)  tell me what causes a gypsy face.  I don\'t have one, but I have seen pics.  

Also, if someone has this pop-up in their line regularly, I might be interested in obtaining one of these birds for a \"project\" (hide).

I apologize if this has been covered, but I didn\'t find anything on a search.

greeneggsandham:
I\'m curious.  What\'s a gypsy face?  Could someone post a pic?

Ya, I\'ll bite.  Got photos?

Mike Gilbert:
Gypsy face has a dark, purplish color to it instead of red or pale.   It is genetic.
