Among them are two white albino, one normal green, a lutino and a lutino lacewing with a bright green/grey tail. I was surprised I even got any albinos and excited to get a lacewing, especially with the green tail. I have two questions. The first is that I would like to know what the genetic makeup of the parents might be in order to achieve these offspring. And secondly, is the green tail common in lacewings? Will it just moult out eventually? I have included some pictures of the parents and babies to show you Thanks, Joachim.

A lacewing is one thing a lutino is another. Lacewings have red eyes, yellow or white feathers and cinnamon markings. and the first three babies are NOT lacewings This one what is the actual colour of the tail ? If its a lacewing the tail will be cinnamon brown. The tail doesnt appear to be......unless the photo is bad ? Edited October 17, 2011 by **KAZ** Link to comment

It's tail is a greeny blue, like the tail of a normal green budgie. What mutation is it? Link to comment

I once had a red eyed chick who turned out to have fallow and recessive pieds mixing up the gene pool and the results were very confusing See what some others have to say Edited October 17, 2011 by **KAZ** Link to comment

Fallows have the red eyes so that might solve the confusion. It is a green based fallow, so that explains why the young are yellow. She must be split blue to also get the Albino. That is some genetic cocktail you have mixed up here. Link to comment
