PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME< BLUE CINNAMON?

[kim1]

A freind just showed me his new bird, a Blue cinnamon cockbird, this bird just looks like a blue to me, just with a slight grey tinge, is this really what a blue cinnamon looks like? if thats the case why does it look exactly like one of my blues that came from blue and Green/blue parents. If this is a blue cinnamon I can't see the big deal, seems a waste of money to me.

Hi Kim, Generally all you will see of the cinnamon colour on that type of bird and colour is a dirty sort of brown tinge on the wing tips, theres not much difference from the blue, I agree

Cheers Tony

So what is the appeal? what makes them more expensive, I don't get it, I'd rather true blue that dirty blue any day.

[fischer]

It's simply that the cinnamon colour in blues is much rarer than the normal blue colour as yet, and people will pay big prices for the different colour variations, hence the bigger price

Cheers Tony

I think that the new variations should be an improvement on the colour if they are to be worth the money, oh well I guess thats the bird breeding business.

you are only paying more because with the cinnamon gene you can breed nicer colours (sky blue, silver, golden olive)
