Turquoise is a rare mutation in Princess Parrots that was first discovered in Australia. Birds of this variety are grayish in color with pale blue-green wing stripes, dark blue-gray flight feathers, and a white throat. The mutation is sometimes seen combined with Dark Factor or Cinnamon, but is just as often bred by itself.

Princess Parrot Mutations Polytelis alexandrae (ASNSW Meeting - April 2014) (Printable Version - PDF file - Free Adobe Reader download) Steve Fitzsimmons interviewed by Graeme Phipps Graeme Phipps We are going to talk to Steve about the Princess Parrot Polytelis aleandrae, which would have to be one of the top birds of aviculture of all time. The most obvious cause of color mutation is genetics. Different species of birds may have simple or complex genetic codes that can lead to certain feather colors and patterns; mutations in these genes, whether naturally occurring or artificially introduced (through selective breeding), will result in the bird taking on a different appearance.
These color mutations are blues, lutinos, and albinos. Princess Parrot is a very adaptive bird, thus has been hybridized with the Superb Parrot, Crimson Winged Parrots, and Indian Ringnecks. Autosomal Dominant Inheritance Dominant mutations require only one mutant gene for the effects of a color mutation to show up visually, while Recessive mutations require two - one from each parent.
Not all dominant color mutations function the same way, though. Dominance, Incomplete Dominance, and Codominance are types of dominance where a trait is applied to the bird in different ways. Simplified Breeding of Colour Mutations in Parrots.
