Fallow Rainbow Mutation.

The Fallow mutation is a wild caught mutation which first occurred in the Feral flocks of Rainbow Lorikeet in the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. We first hear about this mutation back in 1994/95 when a chap phoned us and told us about this wild caught Rainbow lorikeet which had flown into his backyard, At first I though maybe a Dilute{cinnamon}but it had bright red eyes and white clear feet and toes.
Newly hatched Fallow rainbow chicks, they look very much like a lutino rainbow chick. but not until they feather up that they show their true colours. Anyone who in the past may have thought that Fallow were just another Dilute{cinnamon} well think again these are what I said as if you had combined the Lutino & Dilute rainbow to make one of the most beautiful mutation you will see.
