This stunning color is my favorite, green marble. The marble gene is recessive and shifts the dark pigment to the ends of the feathers, creating scalloped edges and leaving the body color lighter.

Just to have some content, I’ll share parrotlet color genetics and example photos. Here’s the bird that started it all for me, Marshmallow.
His genetics are blue (removes yellow) with the American gene (removes body blue). It’s called “American White”.
