I agree. Cinnamon opaline grey green seems to be the only option

Congratulations sailorwolf

I think you've got the others right

I agree

This one is a sky blue spangle recessive pied

And it was right

In an aviary containing 3 hens and 4 cocks one normal olive female chick was born. Which birds were it's parents? The Hens: normal mauve dark green dominant pied olive recessive pied The Cocks: normal sky blue cinnamon olive white double factor spangle cobalt recessive pied I will PM the answer to anyone who has a go

Your chicks will probably be all lutino because it is unlikely that the lutino cock is split for blue. The TCB mutation is sex-linked and dominant over ino so the albino hen won't have inherited the gene

To breed a lacewing from a cinnamon and and lutino will take 2 generations. First you must first produce a cock bird that is split for both mutations. Mate your lutino to a blue cinnamon, then choose a male chick from the clutch, it will be split to both mutations. Then mate this bird to a blue hen and you have about a 6.25% chance of getting a white lacewing

Your cock bird is an Type 2 yellow face sky blue opaline spangle clearflight pied (probably also has a violet factor) and your hen is a type 2 yellow face mauve spangle. They must both be split for dilute. The white and the cream chicks are double factor spangles. One of the chicks is a single factor spangle, one is a dilute clearflight spangle, one is an opaline clearflight pied and the other is a clearflight pied. This pair would be expected to produce about 25% double factor spangles, 50% single factor spangles and 25% non spangles. Half of the chicks will also inherit the clearflight. The female chicks will also be opaline and the yellow face will be inherited by about 50% as single factor and 25% as double factor

Here's a recent clutch

Dizzy is a yellow face sky blue opaline spangle male Lizzy is a grey spangle female Loral is a clearwing olive male Lola is a type 2 yellow face cobalt recessive pied male

If neither budgie is split for the others mutation and the hen is not split for blue all the chicks would be normal green (unless the hen is a yellow face). If the hen is a yellow face then half blue and half yellow face blue. As it is rare for budgies not to be split for other mutations expect some surprises

It's my understanding that they are separate

Pairing a type 1 yellow face with a type 2 yellow face you would get 25% type 1, 25% type 2, 25% normal white face and 25% combinations of the two yellow face types. The combinations would look like type 2's because the type 2 would mask the type 1. The mutation would be masked not split. You would not get double factors of either type. The only way to tell which ones were combinations would be to mate them to a normal and see if they produced both types

He is a light green dilute. Some of the pictures look like he could be cinnamon as well. Do you know what his mother was? Because for him to be a cinnamon male his mother would have to have been a cinnamon

I actually know that song as "The Highland Chorus", it was recorded by Robert Wilson and the White Heather Group in 1958. Here's an easier one: To paradise Isle come stay a while Nassau is wonderful you'll like it there Swimmin' is fine, fish are on your line Holiday is every day that you're here (By J Louis Merkur, copyright 1967) Danny Boy is Irish, so you only know one

I'll give you a clue - It's Scottish

Here's another one A girl on a bridge at midnight Her body all a quivver She gave a cough And her leg dropped off And floated down the river

Don't know what it's called but the next lines are: she said do you come from a land down under Where women all glow and men all plunder

Here's one. No budgies in it though. I have a collection of about 5,000 old songs but it's hard to pick one These seven long years I've been serving now And seven long more have to stay All for bashing a bloke down our alley And taking his ticker away

I am of Australian descent. One of my ancestors was a First Fleeter. He nicked a handkercheif

The song is called I'm Australian

Yes it could be clearwing as well as spangle. Greywing, cinnamon and clearwing all have this effect on a spangle but as the body colour is quite bright I'd say it was clearwing
