Mutts are white - there aren't any other types really. This green colour is the result of the mutt over-zealously investigating a can of paint into which it then fell. Fortunately it was seen and captured by a Fid who then scrubbed it as best he could to stop the paint from gluing the poor birds feathers together or from poisoning the bird from ingesting too much of it as it attempted to clean itself.
