  9. Blochy ...maybe their is pied in there gene somewhere??
  10. AH HUH! And I thought I was the one with a Slate that everyone calls a Mauve! I now understand the whole and Blue grey is a mauve!!! However if you take into account of the the Slate discription Slate Slate is a color-adding factor similar to grey and violet. Slate produces a very dark bluish grey in white-based budgies. The darkness of the slate varies slightly according to the dark factor of the bird. Slate, like violet, can be present in a green (yellow-based) budgie, but only produces a darkening effect. True slate only appears on blue (white-based) budgies. This variety is extremely rare. Basic Genetics: Sex-linked (on the x-chromosome) Then Beacause it is a GREYWING! Dilution In addition to a dark factor, budgies may also have a degree of dilution. There are four types of dilution: greywing, full-body-color greywing, clearwing, and dilute. Greywing budgies have grey markings on head and wings instead of black, and the body feather color is about 50% diluted (washed out). Full-body-color greywing budgies have the same grey markings of the greywing but the body color is brightened (not lightened or diluted). Clearwing budgies have very light or no markings on head and wings and the body color is brightened (not lightened or diluted). Dilute budgies are washed out all over. The head and wing markings are very light, and the body color is about 80% diluted (washed out). Without any dilution, the budgie looks like the normal budgies seen above. Basic Genetics: Normal - dominant Greywing - recessive, co-dominant with clearwing This is why the colors are muddled up!!!! So we all know that I am not the King pin on mutations however the above explains alot An Raven Gypsy has a Cobalt slate ... Must admit though the lines running across his belly are COOL!
  11. Bert and I share the same B'day He looks like he is cinnamon in colour ( are they brown or grey markings on his wings ) I am in agrance with the Dilute!! Oh yeah Yes definatly MALE

  14. So, i guess there is some truth in the saying look like a drowned rat! I was out toping up feed and hosing out the other avairy when i saw it ... the thick tail, that, brown grey fur .... THE RAT!!!! I ran to the other avairy with hose in hand AND A SQUIRTED the hose on, at & around the FERAL THING. I soaked under the timber board ( hoping that a heap of them weren't going to come out and get me ) . The rat was wet trying to get outi hosed it away again , ran and got the .......... Shovel, I tried to hit it missed got it's tail, Man those things are thick didn't work, it turned, it was me or the rat......... I got the shovel and smashed it cursing and swearing at the thing for being so close to my birds I lost it ..... So it is either 1. unconsious (sp) 2. Dead 3. A great actor ..... All in all I feel bad I think I am going to bunnings now and get those traps
