From what I understand (in my 3 years experience lol) size is the hardest thing to get and putting heads on isnt so hard lol. They look lovely Link to comment

Bad photo but one of my best birds Ideas on where I could improve would be great! Dont be in too much of a hurry to blame a cock for infertile eggs. Some hens think they can go to nest and lay eggs without budgie bonking. Half the time its the hens at fault. Link to comment

Pairings Expectations Cinnamon cock × Cinnamon hen... 100% Cinnamon. Cinnamon cock × Normal hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Cinnamon hens. Normal/split Cinnamon cock × Cinnamon... hen Cinnamon cocks Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Cinnamon hens Normal hens Normal/split Cinnamon cock × Normal hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Normal cocks Cinnamon hens Normal hens Normal cock × Cinnamon hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Normal hens Normal cock × Normal hen... Normal cocks Normal hens The same goes for opaline as it is sex linked Edited November 9, 2010 by splat Link to comment

Well the cock has a opal violet father and a dom pied sky mother.(normal cinnamon line) and the hen has a grey/green cinnamon father and a spangle opal grey green mother (normal line) So does that make it opaline?

I have read these types are pretty common? Are they the type of bird that is more frustrating than anything? As in cross breeds? Link to comment
