HurdyBirdy

Cupid is a cutie.. but I love Tingle :bluebudgie: Just a thought - is Storm the only one with a white face? Were all of the babies from Marine and Tootie's first clutch yellowfaces? Maybe Storm is the one that you got from Daz if together Tootie and Marine have only produced yellowfaces.

He looks like a normal yellow faced grey, type 1, I think.

I think that Kito is a great name for her. Lovely coloring.

I got this "little" guy from the person I got Sterling from when he told me he had a few more grey budgies. This was not what I was expecting........... I think I know what his mutation is.. but I'll let you guys see if you can figure it out. His body is a bit paler than it looks in the pictures.

okay.. no albinos.. You might get some recessive pieds since both birds would be split for it. Dark eyed clear would also be a possibility.. a bit of a longshot.

I think that Mango is an opaline spangle. You'd get greens unless Tango is split for blue or yellowface. 25% double factor spangle (all yellow bird), 50% single factor spangle, 25% normal green. Females would be opaline. Babies would be split for dilute -- you won't get any unless Mango is split for clearwing, greywing, or dilute. If Mango is a violet sky blue -- and not a cobalt -- then babies may inherit a violet gene depending on whether his is single or double factor violet.

"The Continental Clearflights are not as dramatically marked as the other pied mutations. Here, ideally, the flight feathers and the tail feathers should be clear. Very often some of these feathers will be normally colored. Continental Clearflights also have a patch of light feathers at the nape of the neck. Sometimes a Continental Clearflight will have all of the flight and tail feathers regularly marked. In this case they can only be told from the normal birds by means of the light patch by the base of the skull" The mother of the violet is an albino correct? that means he is split for albino. Do you know what his father is.. or the parents of the grey female? Babies.. females would be cinnamon and males split to cinnamon half of the females may also be albino -- so I guess that means lacewings since they would be cinnamon as well They can inherit pied, violet, and/or grey as well which won't show in the inos. They could inherit one, two or all three. If they don't inherit any they would be normal cinnamons. Males will be split for cinnamon and have a 50% chance of being split for ino as well..the males may inherit a pied, violet, and/or grey gene (normal blue, normal grey, normal violet, blue pied, grey pied, violet pied, grey violet pied, normal grey violet)

They look great together.

They're all your good side!

A bit fickle are we? Cute pictures.. my spangle looks like him and acts just like that......

My grey budgie has blue(ish) feet and grey toenails - maybe the green one has a grey gene?

Yellowface greys are one of my favorites.. what a beauty.

Beautiful bird. I think that Lovey was right the first time. If a he is split to ino, then there is a 50% chance of him passing the gene to male or female offspring so you could get normal females and -ino females. Normal/split Lutino cock Lutino hen = Lutino cocks Normal/split Lutino cocks Lutino hens Normal hens if he were an ino then all the female chicks would be ino.

Babies,babies, and more babies.. they are all sooo cute. looks like a greywing or dilute to me, maybe opaline too

I'm fairly sure that you have a very young dominant pied male there -- too young to be bred. Your budgies may be more inclined to breed since you have more than one pair.. but many times a single pair will want to breed as well if the conditions are right. So what you are going to need to do is to make sure that the conditions aren't condusive to breeding. No nest box.. or anything that could be viewed as a potential nest. Limit the amount of daylight during the longer days of the year.. that sort of thing. Give them as healthy a diet as possible.. whether or not you are intending to breed.

:wine

I really like the triangle rope swing. Love the new sig.

Cute! My budgies love to steal whatever is in my cockatiel's dish.

She's beautiful -- great pictures.

They look great.. whose egg is number 9 that Ringo hatched?

Interesting.. so I would assume one of the parents was a yellowface and one was green - if the yellowface was split for blue.. and the green was split for blue then you could get greens, yellowfaces and blues. Since you got recessive pieds (jasper, winter and lime) that means the the both parents must have been carrying that gene. Are lemons eyes red? If they aren't and her parents were not spangles.. (spangles have white (or yellow) wings with a black edge to each individual feather) one parent was probably a clearflight pied - when clearflight pied and recessive pied are both present you get what is referered to as a dark eyed clear Opaline is sex linked -- but since Milo is a male his mother must have been an opaline and his father either and opaline or split for it (carrying the gene even though it is not visual)

I've found some! And some more! What are you doing? That's mine! Broccoli Sneak! mmmm.. this is the good stuff..... Broccoli Weirdo! What do you mean there's a piece on my beak?!? I refuse to believe that. Little was unavailable for comment.

I love their names.. can't wait to see how they all turn out.

I'm impressed. She's a beauty.

I really like the new one.. my guess would be dominant pied opaline grey green.
