Don't just stand there HELP I am stuck!

beautiful birds, Daz as answered your questions, we also have in the FAQ's in the mutation section about the different greens

You may want to post a picture of the eye first so we can see it, if they are new birds I would be careful on the grabbling and different things especially if you are working on taming.

welcome and your birds are beautiful

thank you for the update Cathy, this journal is awesome to show people with time and effort they can acheive what they want .

hope she is feeling better soon

She is young so I agree to put up posters, call the vets and let them know you found her she may have just got out since she is not clipped, we have a great Article in the FAQ about Finding/Loosing a Budgie. Good on you for getting her inside and safe and following quarantine.

Read here on how to post pictures within guide regulation Photo Regulations/How to Post TIPS on taking good pictures that WIN Make sure you have good lighting Try and take your budgie's picture without the bar cages, many camera's will let you zoom in and you can put the lense between the space If it is a close-up use your macro setting (symbolized on some camera's by a flower) and then press the shutter button 1/2 way and let it focus If the picture is blurry check your setting and try again Make sure you resize your pictures to message board size (640x480) too small of pictures are hard to see

Jen is right that is a simple % you may get all green or you might get all blue but it gives you an idea of what your outcome out so for example when you look at that chart you have a even chance of getting greens either not split or split like but they are just %. A great example is my husband and I we both have brown eyes and both split for blue eyes because amazing both our kids have blue eyes that is a 25% chance of that but we acheived it :rofl:

:rofl:

I agree with the but that 2nd picture if you haven't submited a picture for Budgie of the Month you should use that one it is so CUTE.

Iceburg is the worst, you can use the dark green lettuce or the red lettuce those are more nutrional. Lettuce is suggested not to be fed to rabbits either for the very same reasons.

yep you got it and you use this method with any non-sex linked gene example spangle, recessive pied, dominant pied...

Your 1/2 way there, I wish I knew how to do the drawing stuff make the chart the way I did, it makes it easier to see it B B G Baby 1 (GB) Baby 2 (GB) B Baby 3 (BB) Baby 4 (BB)

Each bird has 2 color genes either 2 Greens - GG OR 1 Green and 1 Blue (GB) Your chart would be wrong because you gave each bird 4 color genes GGBB So if you have example: GG (1 Green Hen Bird with 2 Green Genes) x bb (1 blue Cock bird with 2 Blue Genes) you would chart it out and split apart the genes. 1 cock blue gene 1 cock blue gene 1 hen Green Gene G (hen) B (cock) G (hen) b (cock) 1 hen Green Gene G(hen) B (cock) G (hen) b (cock) then what you do is go diagonial to figure out the charting like when you do multiplication (that is the best way I can explain it because I don't have arrows) Now you figure out this one Gb (green split to blue which is a green bird with 1 green gene and 1 blue gene) x bb (blue bird with 2 blue genes)
