And right after I promised that questions would be answered, too. :-)

I'm stumped. I did once see a photo of some blue-mutation B&G macaws, basically all of the gold was white, they were really beautiful. It was on the cover of a magazine, I think it was an older CPQ but I'm not sure.

I don't think this is exactly what you were looking for, but it's a blue scarlet:

I was searching for Blue Scarlet it was listed as White Scarlet.

If that is a mutation of the Scarlet Macaw does that mean that the colouring is caused solely by the breeding and not by any health problems as with some of the birds that were pictured. e.g. the lovebird with liver problems.

It's my understanding that for ringnecks, the blue mutation is simply a lack of yellow pigment. Yellow + blue = green, so when there's no yellow the normally-green birds grow up blue. There's also yellow ringnecks that result from the absence of blue pigment. I've heard that one of the ringneck mutations has relatively weak feathers because the missing pigment also provides strength to the feather shafts but I don't remember the details.

I don't know about scarlets... If you removed all of the red from a scarlet, it might look similar to those photos, but I would expect to see some colors other than blue remaining.

Does anyone here know for sure? I'm curious now...
