It is a Red-bellied Yellow Turquoisine female. The Yellow mutation is
the most common of Turquoisine mutations in aviculture, and genetically
is an autosonal recessive mutation, which first appeared in 1961. The
increased red on the belly and chest has come from generations of
selective breeding to enhance the red. Locally they would sell for
around $40 to $50 each, although this may vary in different parts of
Australia.

Hi All
A friend of mine caught an aviary escapee the other day and asked me to
identify it from two photos he supplied. I have no idea what it is- it is an
aviary concoction of parrot species. I have put pics on my flickr site and
out of morbid curiosity I wonder what you think of its origins. Appreciate
any feedback. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbaxterki/
