I came across this Budgie at the last Club Meeting. Had me beat. Ever type I thought of was wrong.

 

Let's See you can guess it.

 

Are the two longest tail feathers actually yellow, or are they missing and we are seeing the secondaries?

This looks like a "DUSK" budgerigar to me Daz. A "new" type of budgie being bred well in the Newcastle area of Australia. I have more information on this type of budgerigar. PM me if you would like details.....article with photos.

The tail feathers are there. You could call them clear.

Sorry Bubble but it not a dusk budgie.

Looks the same as the pictures in that article I was reading and sent you. Is it being called something different or am I on the wrong track

gah this is bugging me I know i've hear or read the name dusk budige before But I can't remember if it was for this mutation or not now.

 

oh and Daz showed me when I met up with him trying to trick me

malanistic (sp?) spangle....

 

I think it's the same photos that someone showed once before. It has the spangle tail...

Well done Cheeta. The Melanistic Spangle. The tail did give it away.

 

Bubbles I haven't recieved that article. Could you sent it to me.?

I was thinking of the melanistic spangle too but i couldn't remember the name, just that someone had posted an article about them before.

Here is the link:

When Daz showed me the picture all I could remember was "reverse spangle"

 

Daz I forward the email about the dusk budgies to you, karen sent the info to me at the same time back in May.

I remember someone asking be about this when I posted a picture of them a while back. I thought the parents still had to be spangle for this to appear.

I asked! I thought he looked odd. :hap:

This is Darelle:

 

her tail is normal.

 

 

The first bub shown there really looks like a normal spangle :hap:

 

Bea- lucky I didn't say a name I was thinking it was Bubbles :hap:

I don't know. I know the book says that you can't be split for a dominant. But were did a spangle come from??? and now how did the malenistic spangle occur?

 

I'm just keeping my eye on these. They maybe some thing else. or nothing new.

I might take one to the next meeting and see what the members say.

 

But they are different???? :hap:

Yes they are I was putting it down to the pied gene.

 

Re-read the info on these guys and a Microsoft Corporation ® paired to a normal will/can give Microsoft Corporation ® babies, normal spangles and normals :hap: Have you hit on something with out knowing Daz??

 

I think tommorrow you need to snap some new piccies of mum and dad again to have another look now. And yes take one or two to your meeting to check.

Edited November 11, 200618 yr by Nerwen

Nerwen, Karen has just confermed that Jazz is the sister to a spangle?

I'll have to have another look at Jazz. I thought she was a Dominant Pied Greywing skyblue.

 

 

She has been throwing greywings and also a dominant pied now. But what is she hidding?

yes I remember looking at her before at your place and don't recall ever thinking but what we thought.

 

Also have a look at the bubs here: http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....65entry146765

 

I thought the dad from this was another of Jazz's siblings.

 

okay Looking at a big picture from your site her flight feathers have the markings of a spangle.

Edited November 11, 200618 yr by Nerwen

I think Karen said that the dad could be Jazz's Sister. Karen you could be breeding Malenistics spangles. of some sort

 

Just checking the new rules for Melanistic Spangles.

 

The first Malenistic Spangle was a pairing from a conventional Spangle to a Normal.

Malenistic Spangle to Normal gives 100% Malenistic Spangle

Melanistic to Malenistic gives 50% Malenistic, 25% DF Malenistic, 25% Normal.
