l'm planning on breeding some of my budgies later on (not until this coming up spring/summer) and l'm just curious about what l could expect if l breed these ones together ?

 

Hobbes (male) a normal green .

Claire (Female) a Sky Blue Opaline Dilute .

 

Hobbes

 

Claire

 

the next pair would be ,

 

Papaya (male) l believe he is a type of ino but l'm not quite sure of which type he is thou , he is completely yellow with white flight feathers he also have a little white on his tail feathers , his eyes are black but recently l have noticed he is getting an iris ring on one eye but not the other .

Popcorn (female) a Yellow Face type II Sky Blue Recessive pied .

Papaya

 

 

 

l don't know anything about their parents since l got them all from pet stores .

Hobbes and Claire -- would all be normal green (but there may be splits that they have that would give different outcomes) Babies would all be split for blue and dilute, males would also be split for opaline.

 

Papaya and Popcorn -- I think that Papaya may be a double factor spangle -- blue cere, iris ring. Not totally sure. If he is then babies should all be single factor spangle. I'm not totally sure if he isn't yellowface -- if he is yellowface then you could get yellowfaces and blues.. but if he is yellow(green series) they should be green.. All split for recessive pied

for the pair of claire and hobbes wouldnt all be normal greens or splits they could also (depending on the parentage of hobbes) become pieds, spangles, blues and white face. budgie genetics are fun because you dont know the outcome untill u try it. the thing is that breeding needs a male and a female but by the picture claire looks like a male and 2 males wont breed.

thanks,

Sco-tie... Claire looks like an out of condition female to me.

I agree Cheeta females can have a light blue cere when out of condition :offtopic:

thank you .
