This pair have mated and while I haven't checked their box I do believe they have eggs.

 

 

This is the infamous Cock identified by Mr Ghalib Al-Nasser:

 

Continental Clearflight Cinnamon Violet cock:

 

 

 

 

and this is Grayson (pictured with CJ):

 

before I try (coughs) I thought clearflights had white flights? One side is pattern and the other side is not?? I see the tail is completely white? I could be TOTALLY off but I am confused, please explain.

just looks like a poorly marked pied to me..

He looks like a cinnamon dominant violet pied and the washing out would be from the violet gene?

"The Continental Clearflights are not as dramatically marked as the other pied mutations. Here, ideally, the flight feathers and the tail feathers should be clear. Very often some of these feathers will be normally colored. Continental Clearflights also have a patch of light feathers at the nape of the neck. Sometimes a Continental Clearflight will have all of the flight and tail feathers regularly marked. In this case they can only be told from the normal birds by means of the light patch by the base of the skull"

 

The mother of the violet is an albino correct? that means he is split for albino. Do you know what his father is.. or the parents of the grey female?

 

Babies.. females would be cinnamon and males split to cinnamon

half of the females may also be albino -- so I guess that means lacewings since they would be cinnamon as well

They can inherit pied, violet, and/or grey as well which won't show in the inos. They could inherit one, two or all three. If they don't inherit any they would be normal cinnamons.

 

Males will be split for cinnamon and have a 50% chance of being split for ino as well..the males may inherit a pied, violet, and/or grey gene (normal blue, normal grey, normal violet, blue pied, grey pied, violet pied, grey violet pied, normal grey violet)

thank you Hurdy for explaining, now I understand. I just needed a description

The mother of the Violet is a White DEC & the father a Green Spangle (see http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=11908 )

 

Grayson parentage? If memory serves (and that was 16 months ago!), the mother was either albino or lutino (can't remember which) & the father is Junior Boss - a Y&G Recessive Pied.

okay.. no albinos.. You might get some recessive pieds since both birds would be split for it. Dark eyed clear would also be a possibility.. a bit of a longshot.

Well, I checked the box on Sunday and not only did they have eggs, but they have 2 babies too!

 

 

very cool and both have red eyes!

 

Can the male be split for Ino?

cute cute
