LusoPeriquito, Al-Nasser is one that I am learning from. Thank You for your comment.

Genetically we call the type II a parblue when it occurs in a blue bird. There is an other type of Yellowface which is discribed as a goldernface parblue. The goldenface is more "Buttercup" than the type I or Type II. Note for show budgies: type II and Goldenface is marked down on the bench.

Dehydration after leaving the nest is a big cause for the flights and tail feathers to either drop or not develop properly. Revise your management in water supply.

Your results could be: Either Grey or Blue but all would be split to recessive pied Normal crossed with a Recessive pied the outcome will be normal split to recessive pied. The photos are a bit small for me to see the colours what colour is the recessive pied?

okay Karen If they are what you think they are here is the out come. Males could be: Visual Violet, Split Opaline, Split Yellow Face type I Normal Green, Split Opaline, Split Yellow Face type I Single Factor Violet, Split Opaline, Split Yellow Face type I Females could be: Visual Violet, Split Yellow Face type I Normal Green, Split Yellow Face type I Single Factor Violet, Split Yellow Face type I Hope for the best.

http://home.gil.com.au/~dwellsadsl/birds/LG-022-04.jpg Here is a grey green normal. Bubbles to me looks like a yellow face grey dominant pied. Dad lookes like a Yellow face type II Parblue Dominant pied (note the bleed in the green) Mum looks like a yellow face grey opaline. Radar looks like a grey green or possibly an olive. (Double Dark Factor) Clive looks like a Skyblue normal Bubble I am confussed on what two you want to mate ... :ausb: Please point them out again.

Strangely Grey is the only colour that will mix with Green to form a grey green... :rip:

......thats one way of looking at the world Blinks :rip:

Glad to hear the others okay Cindy.

I am hoping that someone has picked up something.... :budgiedance:

Here is Mum http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/LG-026-04.jpg Light Green Opaline and Dad. http://www.flexi.net.au/~dwellsadsl/Images/ash.jpg Cinnamon Grey What do you think i'll get {genetic lesson}

Well if I can get the Opaline I bought to breed with Ash you can look at geting one.. She was in the nest box this morning so cross fingures.

My new Boy http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/CBS-4357.jpg I'll try to get a better shot of him. He is a light green opaline. Unfortunately the breeder bred opaline to opaline and he has lost some wing markings. I'll be breeding him back to a normal to bring the markings back.

DE Clear If you have what you think is a DE Clear and it has an iris ring.. you may have a double factor Spangle.

This is one problem regarding Colony breeding. In a closed breeding set up. You decide who will breed with who and when. This is a bit of my set up. Breeding cages with nest boxes. The flight is for enjoyment not for breeding. Edit * This is an old picture. I am now up to 9 breeding cages or 7 breeding cages and 2 nursaries. :fear

:fear you'll be over run by budgies... can't think of anything nicer.

You might find that the hen will make a decission to through the old eggs out. Let her decide first.

If you have another pair breeding and they are just starting to lay eggs you can foster the eggs to them.

Hi Lollie3 thats great. The site has been Updated with some very nice birds. - PRBSinc

Very nice bird Zebra. Let see Opaline clearwing I think. Nerwen can call the rest

Hi Hellybell it looks like you have a skyblue spangle girl. I have bred Spangles. Tiny on the right. Chirpy in the middle http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/budgies028.jpg Spangle on the Right is a parblue Golden Face Spangle A normal budgerigar wing feather is black with a colour edging it. This goes for Opalines as well. A spngle is in reverse. The colour is in the centre with a black edging. If the edging is poor or dull we usually call it a week spangle in the show world.

Don't be embarassed. We all have to start somewhere. When I first started I thought my Recessed pied was a dilute. . That is what we are here to help with. Helping people understand budgies more. Can you post a picture of your bird and we will try to tell you what he is and why?

That is why I have closed breeding...so I know whos baby is whose.

You would have to explain Moa to him Sailorwolf.
