This bird has an ivory to pearly white body, wing and head color. Sometimes called a dirty white. The neck ring is dark gray to black. Body coloration can vary between birds. The "iris" is mottled as in all "ivory" combinations. Hatchlings typically have red or ruby colored eye balls under the skin.
Obtaining the "SHOW IVORY" is quite simple. Breed a visual Ivory to a Blond or Blond to a visual Ivory. All the offspring will be Blond & all will carry "ivory" hidden (often referred to or called a "split" bird). Either sex of the Blond (splits) which carries Ivory hidden can be used. You can use the split Blond and breed it to a visual Ivory of opposite sex (50% of these young will be Ivory) or you can breed two Blond "splits" together. The SHOW IVORY will be produced in 25% of these two pairings.
