About the Orangefaces
The orangeface mutation is one of the newest mutations of lovebirds. The orangeface causes the red or peach mask to be replaced by a tangerine colored mask. The Orangeface mutation can be bred into any mutation, as long as the ground color of the bird is green, or the bird has a red or peach face. I have three types of orangeface lovebirds, the normal green orangeface, American yellow orangeface and lutino orangefaces.

If you bred one orangeface with any other bird with a peach face, you will get split orangeface birds. To get the orangeface back, you would have to breed these split birds back in with each other.

The orange on the orangeface lovebirds look most striking on the Australian inos, the lutinos, and even the olives.

Normal Orangeface lovebird
Here is one of my four normal orangeface lovebirds. Notice the vibrant orangeface on the bright green body.
Lutino Orangeface lovebird
Notice how good the orange of the face shows up on the yellow body. The bright yellow body and red eyes is a true sign of a lutino lovebird.
American Yellow Orangeface lovebird
This is one of my prized birds. If you look at the face, you will notice that the orange isn't as vibrant. This is because this bird is still kind of young. Also, the feathers on this bird has the penciling. This is called a "lacewing" lovebird. These birds are quite rare and are hard to find in pet stores.
