Do you have any pictures to see it's development ??

Test Your Knowledge of Genetics 1) Can a recessive pied be bred from a pair of dominant pieds? No, Dominant Pied cross Dominant Pied gives 100% Dominant Pieds 2) Can a dominant pied be bred from a pair of recessive pieds? No, A bird cannot be split to a recessive Gene 3) There are no known dominant varieties with red eyes. Is this statement true or false? True, The four gene which produce true "red eyes" are sexlinked and recessive (albino, lutino,lacewing & fallow) 4) Is it possible for a bird to be visually carrying the color gray, violet, dark factor, sex-linked, dominant and recessive traits all at the same time? Yes 5) The yellow face on a yellow face blue is considered to be a dominant trait. What is the white face on a green considered to be? B A. also a dominant trait B. does not exist C. a recessive trait D. a sex-linked trait 6) Name four varieties for each of the following. Dominant Recessive Sex-linked Dominant: Spangle Dominant Pied Green Yellow face Recessive: Recessive Pied Greywing Fallow Blue Sex-linked: Opaline Lutino Cinnamon Lacewing 7) What are the only ways to breed a sex-linked cock? Mark all that apply. H, I A. hen has to be normal, cock has to be normal B. hen has to be normal, cock has to be split C. hen has to be normal, cock had to be sex-linked D. hen has to be split, cock has to be normal E. hen has to be split, cock has to be split F. hen has to be split, cock has to be sex-linked G. hen has to be sex-linked, cock has to be normal H. hen has to be sex-linked, cock has to be split I. hen has to be sex-linked, cock has to be sex-linked 8) When a bird is said to be masking something, what does that mean? Also, give an example. B e.g. A green Bird masking Yellow face, who when bred to a blue produces 50% yellow face offspring A. split for another color or variety B. preventing the true visual color or variety to be seen C. dominant for large spots on a deep mask 9) What dominant varieties change appearance when they have two genes for the trait? Spangle & dominant Pied 10) What does it mean when a bird is said to be split? B A. two colors present as in a pied B. not visible on the bird but carrying one gene for another color or variety C. two colors/varieties present, dividing the bird down the middle; halfsider

Gorgeous bird Be careful with the two perches being next to one another, they can get their legs caught and do some very bad damage :s (even as severe as a break) Perhaps try getting him on single wider perch from a hardware store? ? or a big thick log from a tree

Well you already know three are hens it's just the normal blue we need to sex now

looks absoloutly fine

Looks like a greywing opaline.. But i can't tell if green series or Yf blue... I have a Yf hen that looks similar to that colour, and although looking green/ yellow is infact a blue series just remember the greywing opaline bit :budgiedance: easiest thing

Probably fluffed up :budgiedance: although Perhaps you got some bubs bigger than the parents don't stress, it's natural

Sprinkle seeds all over the ground... and in the plate.. seeds in the nest before they come out will be good also.. it'll start them pickingPhotos will be good :)If it's the same as the cage above i should be fine for 6 birds, presuming you're not breeding

We'd really need a picture... dimensions are hard ot imagine for individual cages... By the looks of them they'll be starting to fledge soon... Put some seed in the nest box for them to pick and when they come out, scatter some on the ground for them, with greens also Would you be planning to breed in this cage with all the birds and tame some babies? as it probably wouldn't work well :S?

There's a trick to it... sometime the sex still eludes you, but you can get a good idea

Who cares if it was a speech it was a well deserved one... to very friendly ears.... Aww she was misinformed then I wonder what the elephant was called then...? You should become a Motorvational speaker i think that job would suit you very well!

Then your opaline, lutino and albino are all hens and the blue i'd need to see a picture of the cere?

albino lutino and opaline are all sex linked genes so They take the same amount of difficulty to breed into a bird... the blue normal is slightly easier to get BUT it all depends on what adult birds you own some of them could be easier for you to get, what are the parents By The Way? it may helpw ith sexing your birds?

okay the albino is the totally white bird with red eyes... The creamino is the White bird with red eyes and a yellow wash over it The yf2 opaline is the bird with the yellow head and blue body with The oddly marked wings ( those markings are opaline) and the blue normal is the blue with black wings Hope that helps

All depends on if you wish to breed them do you have pictures of your cage, so people can see if it is an appropriate size for your birds and as for which ones to keep, that all depends on your personal preference

Spade for scraping and high pressure hose No fuss

You have an Albino, a Creamino a Yf2 opaline... maybe another gene thrown into that aswell and the last bubs a sky blue normal

Thanks guys It's a negative on that one Liv I'm keeping that bird P.s. it's a hen because it's cinnamon from a split cock remember :feedbirds: cinnamons one of the top mutations i like

Pictures aren't working for me sorry!

As some of you may know, a while back i bought some birds off KAZ. Well a few of them were put down to breed almost immediatly, so i though i'd update you all with some pics of the breeding birds and some of the babies we have in the nests atm... Currently we have something like 27 babies in nests under 3 1/2 weeks old so here's a few of them and their parents. ( not all are Birds from Kaz) - The mum and Dad of 4 of the 6 babies ( two are fosters) Yf2 spangle dom Pied cock, split ino and cinnamon and a sky opaline spangle hen - Cinnamon YF2 Df spangle bub - A little sky/cobalt spangle - Cinnamon Df spangle bub - A normal blue foster - The second Normal blue foster - Mars second youngest ( the other is in another hens Nest) - Parents of the two foster chick in Mars' nest (cobalt spangle and violet recessive pied split cinnamon cock) - Zeuss and his Mrs, Candy (Df spangle cock split cinn and a Violet dom pied hen) - Their fat cinnamon spangle bubba :hap: - and their second Fat bubba :hap: - Three fosters with them also - Parents of the fosters (violet cinnamon hen and sky rec. Pied cock) - An opaline Spangle - Cinnwing opaline spangle - opaline spangle Dom Pied http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff16/1libby/a1.jpg - Two more little plum eyed bubs from them and a Foster from Mars (he's the one at the back :hap:)* it's a cute photo, but had to be a link... too many photo's*

The chicks take Best to warm/slightly hot food... If the dad is only feeding the ones who come to the entrance of the box to meet him, try feeding the other ones who miss out warm formula... I prefer to use a syringe for this with a hot glass of water to keep it's temp in Nearby... If it's warm on their beak, they should take to it... so Hence keeping it constanlty warm with the glass of water to rest the syringe in

Do you know how to feed chicks? or have any food on hand?

Mum was six so that would've made it 1961 or 1962 I think... If my maths right... She had a photo of it somewhere... But atm after recently losing my grampy her childhood photo albums are in a bit of a muddle :S If she finds the picture i'll get her to give it to me to upload :hap: She said she's pretty sure but i've not had a chance to talk to Gran.. as she's now in a home I'm guessing it was tricia... unless Gran and Grampy gave mum the wrong name all these years

Aww that is horrible facts :S I'm glad to see the big hairy boy's doing well another gorgeous picture there Mum definatly said she rode tricia, i'll check with her again tonight... and perhaps my gran also, depending on the age mum was when she rode it

good camera! Tricia * (sorry for the spelling before ) Is as gorgeous as i remember her!!! My Mum got to ride her when she was a kid mums 53 Now days I haven't been in a few years, is the HUGE diabetic orangutan still there?
