Well Neat's had a good go. I'l post my answers at the end of the week.

 

I didn't do this Quiz or have the answers. It is from my club. I have forwarded my answers to the club for checking so we will see how I go. :budgiedance:

1. Dominant Varieties

 

Can a dominant pied be split Fallow?

> yes

Can a fallow be split dominant pied.

> no, the dominant pied would visually affect the fallow markings.

Name the varieties I would get from pairing Spangle cock to a spangle hen.

> 25% DF Spangle, 25% normal, 50% SF Spangle

 

2. Recessive Variety, What variety do I get if I mate:

 

A greywing cock to a greywing hen.

>100% greywing assuming both parents are carrying 2 greywing genes each rather than 1 greywing and 1 dilute

>>> {if both parents have only 1 greywing gene (expressed) and 1 dilute gene (recessive to greywing on same allele) then it would be possible to have 75% greywing and 25% dilute.}

 

A clearwing Cock with a normal / clearwing hen

> 50% normal /clearwing, 50% clearwing

 

A fallow cock to a normal hen

> 100% normal /fallow

 

Colours

 

Name the three colours of green

> light green, dark green, olive

 

Name the three colours of blue.

> sky, cobalt, mauve

 

Name the other two colours.

>yellow & white, or violet & grey / greygreen…. Which two are you looking for?

 

3. Sex Linked varieties. Name all possible outcomes of these matings.

 

Normal Cock to an Opaline Hen

> 50% normal male /opaline, 50% normal female

 

Opaline Cock to a Cinnamon Hen

> 50% normal male /opaline /cinnamon, 50% opaline female

 

Normal/opaline Cock to a normal Hen

>25% normal male, 25% normal male /opaline, 25% normal female, 25% opaline female

 

4. Last one. Name all possible outcome of these matings (Colour/Variety/sex)

 

Lutino Cock to a green opaline hen

>50% normal male /lutino /opaline, 50% lutino female

 

Grey Cinnamon /lacewing cock and a blue cinnamon hen.

>Lacewing is a combination of cinnamon and ino.. so in other words the grey cinnamon cock is cinnamon split to albinism (Ino) technically. Also the grey could be in single or double factor form, visually the same.

 

>>If SF grey: 12.5% grey male cinnamon /ino, 12.5% blue male cinnamon /ino, 12.5% grey male cinnamon, 12.5% blue male cinnamon, 12.5% white lacewing female, 12.5% white lacewing female /grey, 12.5% grey female cinnamon, 12.5% blue female cinnamon.

 

>>If DF grey: 25% grey male cinnamon /ino, 25% grey male cinnamon, 25% female white lacewing, 25% grey female cinnamon

 

 

light green dominant pied / opaline cock and a skyblue normal hen

>Pied: 50% dominant pied, 50% normal

>Opaline: 25% normal male, 25% normal male /opaline, 25% normal female, 25% opaline female

>Color: 50% light green, 50% light green /blue

 

 

light green opaline cinnamon cock to a light green spangle hen.

> 25% light green male spangle /opaline /cinnamon, 25% light green male /opaline /cinnamon, %25 light green female spangle opaline cinnamon, 25% light green female opaline cinnamon

*Grey and Violet.

 

 

*Normal split Opaline cocks and normal hens

*Normal cocks split Opaline and cinnamon and Opaline Hens.

*Normal Cocks and Normal Split cocks and Normal Hens and Opaline Hens.

 

 

*Green Cocks split opaline and lutino and Lutino Hens.

*Grey cinnamon cocks, blue cinnamon Cocks both split lacewing and Grey cinnamon Hens, Blue cinnamon Hens and white Lacewing Hens

*Light green dominant pied cocks, Light green normal cocks (both split opaline and blue) and Light green Dominant pied Hens, Light green Normal Hens and Light green Dominant pied Oplaine hens (all split blue)

Nice effort.

 

On lacewings:

 

http://www.euronet.nl/users/hnl/lacewing.htm

 

My understanding of lacewing is that the lacewing effect is expressed when a "linkage" or joining together of cinnamon and ino genes on the one sex chromosome by chromosomes intermingling and swapping genetic material occurs (not exactly the same as inheriting cinnamon on one chromosome and ino on the other). Ofcourse, it could be something entirely different that happens to get tangled up with cinnamon and ino genes. Don't know. I wonder if it is possible for the gene to unlink again and the odd ino hen to come out of that pairing?

 

Neat, on budgie colours:

 

Forget about everything else for a moment. Then visualise this:

At a basic level budgie feathers are white to start with. White budgie.

Add black melanin/eumelanin pigments to give them the black stripes and the 'blue' sheen through their body (a bit like if you put black ink in your skin to tattoo your arm, it looks kind of blue).

Add yellow pigments to your blue budgie all through, and that gives them yellow on the face (which would otherwise be white), and the yellow overlay over the 'blue' sheen of the body makes the body look green.

 

Dark factors darken the shade of your birds (increase melanin/eumelanin)- both green and blue series

none = light, one = medium, two = dark

skyblue , cobalt , mauve

light green , dark green , olive

 

Think of grey and violet as adding overlaying colour on top of each shade. Grey and violet cover blue, and add to green, in each shade. In blue birds if violet is inherited from both parents it will be more intense. And in a grey bird violet adds colour to produce violetgreys in light, medium and dark shades as well.

 

Now, back to our green budgie and from here:

If you take away the melanin/eumelanin black pigments, this becomes a yellow bird.

If you change the melanin/eumelanin from black to brown it becomes cinnamon.

If you change the melanin/eumelanin to grey it becomes a grey wing.

If you re-distribute the position of the melanin/eumelanin in various locations you get different patterns like pieds and opalines.

If you take the melanin/eumelanin out of the body only you get a clearbody.

If you take the melanin/eumelanin out of the wings you get a clearwing.

 

And so on.

 

The genes responsible for budgie colours and patterns affect the production of the colour pigments and their pattern of distribution.

 

Hope this helps you.

Don't know. I wonder if it is possible for the gene to unlink again and the odd ino hen to come out of that pairing?

 

I have read that the cinnamon gene can convert or mutate back over and act like an normal and therefore you would only have the ino gene but you would have to test the bird to see if this really happened. I have found a couple interesting sites on the lacewing.

Hi Elly,

 

What are the sites you have found? I just purchased a white lacewing squire and two green lacewing hens to start breeding that variety to find out what makes them tick. I would be interested in any other sites I haven't found yet.

 

Cheers.

wonder what would happen if you had an ino with brownwing...... would you get a 'lacewing' in looks as well? and if so, would this cause the 'normals' issue since brownwing is recessive rather than sex-linked. I'd be interested to find out. I may need to aquire an Albino hen to pair with my brownwing cock next season and see what happens in a few generations.

I don't know, try it. Some articles that I have read say that Ino is dominant to lacewing, but not sure about relationship to brownwing, also not sure whether brownwing interacts with ino gene in the same way as cinnamon does to produce lacewing effect. (I don't have any brownwings that I am aware of - perhaps I do if they just look similar to cinnamons). The brownwing is thought to be extinct but obviously not. Someone needs to update wikipedia! I am guessing yes, normals could come out of that type of pairing. Give it a shot, keep good records and send your results to Mutavi parrot research.
