I have always thought that a lacewing was a combination of -ino and cinnamon. Is this incorrect? I ask because i recently stated this on another forum "lacewing is a combination of two sex linked genes, not one. It's a combination of -ino and cinnamon" and someone replied that they wouldn't even get into that argument but gave me a link to a site of professional show breeder and said if i wanted to take it up with him i should go for it. :hap: So now i'm really confused, obviously. Have i been wrong all along?

I would like to see the link they gave you because they are wrong you are right :hap: http://www.budgieplace.com/c_lacewing.html

You are right bea. Howcome, then, can lacewings produce both Ino's and cinnamon babies, when they are both on the same gene. Very silly.

is the mom supposed to be ino or the dad or does it matteR?

Well if you want the lacewing can be made up of Ino and Cinnamon gene or Ino, cinnamon and blue genes. Remember that the Albino is a blue ino. So the blue series lacewing is an Albino with the cinnamon makings on the wing and the green series lacewing is a lutino with cinnamon makings on the wing.

That is my belief with this mutation as well Bea. I wouldn't mind checking out the link given too.
