Maybe Mum is Greywing & Dad must be split for it. I think Mum looks like an Opaline Greywing Grey Green. Link to comment

For the record I have no cinnamons in my aviary, I am new to budgies, but I was told by a man who has been breeding for years and years that the mom is a greygreen opaline. He never even mentioned the greywing, but I myself have wondered if she is a greywing as well, I have a violet greywing hen but like I said being new I am uncertain still. It is possible that Mr.Davis overlooked the greywing in the mom as he is an older gentlemen and I was constantly throwing the questions out there at him...LOL. If more pics are needed please just let me know. Thanks to all for the help. SueAnn Link to comment

They fact you don' t have any visual cinnamons in your flock helps (but if you don' t know the history of all your birds some males may be carrying it) Link to comment
