Yellow sided occurred in the wild, it is only presumed it is a mutation of the green-cheek...but saying that it looks very likely it is, from the text we have to hand. Control breeding needs to be carried out with pure normal Green-cheeks to confirm inheritance.
(Below: Green cheek normals & yellow sided)
There appears to be 2 forms of Yellowsides around, some with pink feet and ones with black(normal)feet. I have got the ones with the black feet, i believe these to be the nearest to the pure form of yellow sided found in the wild as describe in the Forshaw's - Parrots of the World... but who knows? They are not as colourful as the pink feetforms. Perhaps pink feet forms are the result of line breeding etc...I'm still learning myself with this species/colour form!
Does anyone actually know the genetic back ground of the Yellowsided yet? From what i have to hand it seems to run with the sex-linked gene...is this correct? Going on that theory, i have added below the expectations of a Yellowsided cock paired to a cinnamon hen.
Note; this is only an example until we know for sure if it is a sex linked gene for the yellowsided.
All pairings listed are cock x hen ie(Yellowsided cock x Cinn hen)
Yellowsided x Cinn = Normal/cinn/yellowsided cocks, Yellowsided hens
Normal/cinn/yellowsided x Cinn = Normals/cinn cocks, Normals/cinn/yellowsided cocks, Cinnamon cocks, Cinnamon/yellowsided cocks. Normal hens, Cinnamon hens Yellowsided hens, Yellowsidedcinnamon hens.
Cinnamon/yellowsided x Yellowsidedcinnamon = Cinnamon/yellowsied cocks, Cinnamonyellowsided cocks, Cinnamon hens, Cinnamonyellowsided hens.
Cinnamonyellowsided x Cinnamonyellowsided = Cinnamonyellowsided cocks and hens.
(Cinnamonyellowsided = pineapple USA)
Anyone with any info to the inheritance of Yellow-Sided, please get in touch so I can add it to this page. You will be credited for your help.
