There called half siders.


Also as far as i know Lutino(Red eyes-yellow) and Albino(Red eyes-White) cock birds DON'T express a blue nose.
So they are harder to sex.So if you get a Lutino don't assume is a Hen just coz it has a brown nose.

There one off fluke and are often just kept by the people that breed them.

The Green/yellow one is a Opaline also known as spangle.
The blue/White one is a Blue/white pied.

Great thanks, are these both common types? And as for the floor covering that I posted earlier, what would you suggest?

Yes they are fairly common.As for floor covering when i have a bird indoors for what ever reason.I use wood based cat litter pellets.
