I would get a nice olive green cinnamon opaline spangle which is split for blue. that way you should get some greens and some blues. You should get a nice mix of everything :thumbs_up:

Good point Dave, it is a percentage so basically if that pair had a 100% chicks that it the rough percentage you should get. A good way to figure out what you'll get is say which one you would prefer and then remove it from the equation :thumbs_up:

great pics :rofl:

Looking forward to reading the article Kaz. it would be an interesting read.

they are currently breeding with a couple of Melbourne Budgies cocks. I won't get any lacewings out of the pairings but I'm still really looking forward to seeing what comes out

We have 2 laptops here and no home computer, one is an acer one a sony... I'd buy another acer I wouldn't buy another sony to many things have gone wrong with the sony, maybe I got a lemon, but its a lemon thats spent to much time in the repair shop... I'll go apple if I have the money though. I had an apple as a kid when dads work got him one, I didn't mind it. I've heard they are great now... we'll see.

how do you use those? does the smell deter the mice?

nope the spangle is a hen. She either is lacewing or isn't.

the one on the right is a lacewing the one on the left is a spangle.

that would be my best birds. they would also be my only birds for the time being

I have no idea how to breed black budgies, but hopefully someone will know how to one day on here.

Congratulations Misty!

I've sat here trying to explain and I can't figure out the words to describe how I come to that conclusion... I'll go to bed and wake up in the morning and see if I can explain it better. SORRY!! I know what I do, but when I try explaining it it doesn't make sense... that generally means I must be wrong in how I came to that conclusion. With the ino, I look at what results I would get if I paired it ino to ino then I look at what I get if I breed ino to normal, and I try and find the middle ground of both of those... does that make sense?? Nope it doesn't... I will try in the morning. Sorry again! I'm trying..

Ahh yes sorry to all you Queenslanders forgot you guys like to be different

Is the opaline a hen? and is the Spangle the cock? If so I would say that your outcomes would be the following: Spangle Cock x Lutino Hen 25% normal cock 25% normal/ino cock 25% spangle hen 25% normal hen This is not taking into account any genes that your ino is carrying, for example your hen could be masking opaline so then all opalines would be male... or it could be a pied ino... unless you know what its masking you could get any number of combinations... Albino Cock x Opaline Hen 25% normal cocks/opaline 25% opaline cocks 25% Albino Hens 25% normal hens again your ino could be masking opaline or something so the "normal" could turn out to be something else... Genetics isn't my forte but I THINK i have given you the right percentages. There are a couple there that I'm not sure about I think there might be another outcome possible Neville will come along and blow my theories out of the water soon I'm wondering if your lutino was masking spangle I think you could probably get DF spangles out of that pairing as well..

gorgeous. Love the food on the face

Good job! Hope you don't have to many mice problems

Well its 00:00 here on the east coast so Happy New Year!

I think so... or you might get a percentage if you have a df already and pair it with a normal... not sure, but I would think that will get you a single factor only... someone who knows will be along shortly

I'll still look at them GB!

Great job fella's! Whats next?

Yes we are GB.

good luck with that. Liv managed to bring David over to the dark side so there's hope for Ken too :sad:

I like any pairing that produce babies... do I think they'll produce nice show birds??? Not my area of expertise.
