I was wondering if anyone can tell me what color babies I would get from a pair I have.? The male is a yellow/green recessive pied, and the female is a green dominant pied opaline clearwing. Im not really sure if the male and female are split to anything else, but can someone give me a general idea of what I might get?

GREEN ONES.

you'll get all greens half dominant pied half normal...

cock chicks will be split to opaline

all chicks split to recessive

and i beleive with a dominant pied cross recessive there's always a chance of a DEC

and i know nothing about the clearwing gene but pretty sure it's a recessive gene so more than likely all bubs will be split to clearwing

any other pssobilities also with splits already in the parents

Wow thanks!. When you say DEC you mean dark eyed clear right? I was doing a little research on them, and it says you have to have a recessive pied, and a clearflight pied. I then did some research on the clearflight pied, and I think thats what my female might be. All her flight feathers are clear, and she does kind of have clear feathers near her neck and chest. Which it said a budgie usually has when they are a clearflight pied. So I think the Dark Eyed Clear is a big possibility!

Correct me if im wrong but can you have an opaline clearwing , I thought if it has opaline markings then it is opaline only , if it has no markings on the wing just body colour then its a clearwing .

Opaline is the reverse marking on the head and the V on the back

Clearwing is when their are hardly any marking on the head and on the wings

 

Clearwing could mask Opaline but they are on 2 different genus' so yes you can have an opaline clearwing

She stated Clear FLIGHT not clear WING. To get a DEC you still need 2 recessive pied genes so your girl will have to be split for that for any DEC to appear.

not anything about clearFLIGHT

Elly is right you can have an Opaline Clearwing...the Mutation Known as Rainbow is a YF2 Opaline Clearwing.

 

Also Nerwin is right about DEC you need two Recessive Pied genes combined with the Clearflight gene.

I stand corrected , I sometimes have to remember to seperate show birds from pet , especially when mixing varieties together.
