i just purchased three new budgies, i went to look at one and bought home three. Boris is my first recessive pied which i went to purchase but i could not resist the grey brother and sister and they came home with me as well.Benny and Billie's father was a blue dominant pied and the mother was a albino so what would there colours be and where does the grey come from?

 

Boris

Billie

Benny

They are lovely! Didn't take you long to pick out names! :(Laughing out loud):

They are very pretty .

nice looking birds.

they are both grey spangles. the mother would have been grey (hidden by the albino gene) and if the dad didn't show signs of spangle then the mother was hiding that trait too.

your birds are stunning

if i paired boris and billie together what would be the likely outcomes

They are very nice budgies .

blue normals

all the chicks will be split recessive pied.

thanks, so if i wanted to breed recessive pieds i would have to breed boris with another recessive pied.

Yes, or a split recessive pied.
