Ablaq ala Zahr

Ablaq ala Zahr is the correct name as handed down, against names such as Ablaq Zahri or Ablaq Zahr El-Kettan used by some. It carries the strongest beak of any Ablaq house — broad and short by the standards of the house — which led keepers to cross it into many other birds in the hope of transferring that beak structure, notably into the hazel-shell and the green. Shoulders sky-blue with frosting and two peach bars; cheeks a darker blue than the shoulders, broad and long. Pale olive iris with a speckled olive-green ring; white beak with dark shading.
