May 28, 200619 yr I would think you would need to be part of a breeders club and go to bird fairs yourself and auctions (I remember Daz saying something about that too) and be willing to pay top dollar $300.00 a bird a times.
May 28, 200619 yr the common belief about half siders is that they are twins that fail to seperate. http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_co....html#halfsider the recessive pied would have to be YF type II as there is yellow bleeding into the blue and masking the white. so.. half-sider; rare trait not a gene. opaline; sex-linked - quite common rec. pied; recessive - rather common dark factors; semi-dominant yellowface(I and II); dominant or semi-dominant? green; dominant blue; recessive
May 30, 200619 yr Half siders are what is called tetragametic chimerism, where one twin is reabsorbed into the other, when they are in the egg, just a little while after fertilisation. The patches of green and blue have different DNA from each other. The chances of getting a half sider is rare. Think of how rare it is to get twins and then twins that have fused together... very rare. It happens in humans too by the way, any way here is a site on it: http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_co....html#halfsider. That first pick is wrong that isn't a YF type 1 it is a type 2. Silly book.
May 31, 200619 yr from what ive been reading and what ive been told about my birdie and spaz yellow face type 2 is where the yellow from the face runs into their bells and makes the blue look green or something and that bout make that budgie a yellow face type 2 i think. But im on the books side :dbb1: Halfsiders are so pretty! ahh i want one! anyone have one and want to ship it to canada :ausb:
