Yes - they're in a aviary - okay, I obviously still have a lot to learn - thought they were monogamous. I might set up a few breeding cages then.

Thats what I thought as well Then in the case of the yellow face - there is a skyblue yellowface type 2 dilute recessive pied cock, at my Mom's who I've also seen with the hen, bet he's responsible for the normal chick too...

Hi I want to know if it is at all possible that 2 opaline parents can have a normal chick? We have a light green opaline cock and a cobalt, yellow face type 1 opaline hen paired up - but one of the chicks is al light green normal. Also in my Mom's aviary there is a sister of the opaline hen that we have, a cobalt-grey, yellow face type 1 opaline hen paired up with a skyblue opaline cock, and one of the chick is a cobalt-grey normal. Now the pair I just described in my Mom's Aviary, also has a skyblue, yellow face type 2 chick - giving it a turquoise appearance... is this possible?

Hi Everyone I'm not new to the world of Budgies, but new to knowing about types, colours and mutations. My Husband and I currently have 3 breeding pairs, 2 other adults and 10 chicks, and also keep an eye over my Mom's (about 20) Budgies, and have found that there's questions that the normal informational websites does not answer, so I decided to join you! We keep Budgies because they are sociable and very interesting birds. We do not have show budgies and do not raise them to become tame, they are outside in an aviary. I would like to learn more about the genetics and different mutations, and already have loads of questions to ask!
