Well this will be the father of the first generation bred to my albino. Any thoughts on what babies we might get? I don't know what the albino is masking. Once we have babies I'll pull this thread and see who got closest :sad:

 

He is GF opaline spangle (incase the photos don't show it well the spangles are bright blue)

you won't have any ino's unless the dad is split to ino where you wanting ino's?

you will have 50% spangles

50% yellow faces

all blue birds, what coloration is going to depend on if the ino is carrying any dark factors since the male is not

opaline females

Not wanting inos at this stage, I won't get any with my birds, just wanting some split males

 

This is just as much an informed guessing game for me at this stage, thought it might be fun to take a few guesses and then see what we get

In green cheek conures, certain color mutations like cinnamon, opaline (yellowside), and cinnamon-opaline (pineapple) are s**-linked. This means that if a male carries these mutations, all the females that inherit the gene will visually display the mutation, while the males will be split for it.Turquoise is a par-blue mutation in parrots and is recessive, meaning either sex can be split for the gene. In this case, both males and females can carry the mutation without visually displaying it.
