Okay, so I've tried to find information about this. I think basically I just need a briefing, maybe it's a dumb question.

I always wondered how you went about getting pied budgies. Where does that mutation come from? Is it possible for two non-pied birds to have pied babies? Why or why not?

 

Thank you!

okay to answer the main question is that all mutation mutated from normal green birds. Including the pieds. Something went wrong in the genetic make up and a new variety was evolved.

 

It is possible to get pieds from normal birds but not probible.

 

There is two different birds here in this discussion.

 

1. Dominant Pieds. One bird must be a dominant pied to get dominant pied offsprings.

 

Dominant Pied

 

Pairings Expectations

Dominant Pied (sf)× Normal = 50% Dominant Pied (sf) 50% Normal

Dominant Pied (df) × Normal = 100% Dominant Pied (sf)

Dominant Pied (sf) × Dominant Pied (sf) = 25% Normal 50% Dominant Pied (sf) 25% Dominant Pied (df)

Dominant Pied (sf) ×Dominant Pied (df) = 50% Dominant Pied (sf) 50% Dominant Pied (df)

Dominant Pied (df) × Dominant Pied (df) = 100% Dominant Pied (df)

 

 

2. Recessive Pieds. Both birds must be either split recessive or recessive to get recessive pied offspring.

 

Recessive Pied

 

Pairings Expectations

Recessive Pied × Normal = 100% Normal / Recessive Pied

Recessive Pied × Normal / Recessive Pied = 50% Normal / Recessive Pied 50% Recessive Pied

Recessive Pied × Recessive Pied = 100% Recessive Pied

Normal / Recessive Pied ×Normal / Recessive Pied = 25% Recessive Pied 50% Normal / Recessive Pied 25% Normal

Normal / Recessive Pied × Normal = 50% Normal / Recessive Pied 50% Normal

 

 

 

/ = split (not being shown)

 

Hope this helps.
