I have found these birds do better in a somewhat darker aviary no doubt due to their red eyes. A secondary mutation as a result of Cream and Rosa. I believe there are two examples of this mutation. A Pastel Cream type and a deep Rose colour, which I find the most desirable. There are a number of Bourke mutations which are being developed such as Pied, Silver and Lutino, however, I have no other information on these rarities.
Pied markings vary greatly in respective birds.
A stunning mutation with a rich buttercup yellow and white replacing the blue. The advent of importation has aided the establishment of this colour which will only gain popularity as the years go by. There are rumours of a Blue mutation of the in southern states, however, enquiries have failed to locate the source of this information. Australia A very popular Neophema, albeit the most aggressive. I have tried colony breeding with little success, as the hens are too aggressive.
