I see you have places 1st 2nd and 3rd... SQ stopped that as it was a selection for the team and that the birds can change in a week. So we now have 1st, 1st, 1st...... There are no 2nd or 3rd but there are 4th to 10th. Congratulations Gina, I'll be watch them with interest. Well done to all that got birds in the their state teams. I am truely looking forward to a great time this weekend and hope to see as many their as possible. To the careers. If your top three birds would fetch an average of $1500 each at auction, you will be carering for $99,000 worth of birds this weekend. If you find that you have 5 national winners with an average value of $4000 each, you will be taking home $113,000 worth of birds.

I realy didn't see most of the Judging as I was on Computer for most of the event but I did see the Yellowface and Double factor on the bottom shelf. The green, I didn't see at all.

Great out come Splat..... I told you your birds rock . :hooray: :hooray: :hooray: Go Girl.

D'oh i'll have to use the rombus again

Welcome Budgiehero and I hope you enjoy the forum.

Shannon, are you going to be able to diagnose correctly to be able to administer the Supha D?

Very well Done... Do you have a copywrite on this or can anyone use it

Oh Well they didn't get though, but I'm not discouraged.. There is always next year. Now to prepare for the Nationals.

okay Stage one over... We had our Club Selections today and I have 3 birds going through to the preselections. Normal Green came 2nd Yellowface Blue came 3rd Double Factor Spangle came 4th. Only the top 4 in each variety is going through to the Preselections. Preselections for SQ is tomorrow.

Heath's right... No good in a month. If they have one good tail it is only a penalty. No tail no show.

..............Besides a good clean

Pairing two Dark Greens will give 25% light green, 50% dark Green and 25% Olive.

If the hen is a grey green you'll need to include the grey factor in the equation. Grey will mix with Green so you can get normal grey greens and dark grey greens.

Hi Glenn I have the cage fronts custom made same as the Trays.

Thanks Jimmy, I have bred pet shop birds in a colony environment for years and am just getting into show breeding and joined the ABS only recently. Cant wait to get my hands dirty Jim As a member of ABS, will you be at the Preselections in Hendra on Sunday? If so I'll be working the computer for the Scoreboard. Give me a yell.

If I'm not mistaken, I bet it will be for sale in Burnie next wekk

Yellowface Greywing Sky Blue Cock and Green Dilute Hen Very interesting. We need to consider Dominance in recessives here. Greywing is domminant to Dilute so the outcome will be. 50% yellowface all the chicks will be Green Greywings but split blue. I'll need to check but I think they all will be split Dilute as well

Show Cages are $40 each and training cages are $30 per cubical add postage or transport to all prices.

The out come of your pairing should be: Cocks all split to Opaline and Cinnamon 50% will be Dark Green 50% light green Hens will all be Normals 50% Dark Green, 50% light green. Co-dominant Co-dominat is the form of inheritance whereby both the wildtype allele and the mutant allele express themselves equally, As a result, three different phenotypes occur in this situation: the homozgous wildtype, the heterozygous phenotype and the homozygous mutant phenotype. Co-dominace can also occur between two mutant alleles in a multiple allelic series, once again producing three distinct phenotypes. In fact it is the most common form of genetic interaction between multiple alleles of loci controlling plumabge colouration. It is also known and incomplete dominance. Quote from A guide to Colour Mutations & Genetics in Parrots By Dr Terry Martin BVSc . So you are correct as there are three equal expressions of colour. No dark factor, 1 dark factor and 2 dark factor. You dark factor Green ( I assume is a Dark Green and not oliver) has 1 dark factor.

The triples are $180 the duals are $125 Nest Boxes are $10 each.

Yes both are hens.

:hap: I'll explain when I see you

Yes.

Very Interesting

6 - 8 hours in a car (airconditioned) might be better than 4 hours at an airport than 5 1/2 hour flight across Australia than another 1 hour in AAE than 3 hour drive to the venue. (last year )
