Posted May 21, 200817 yr Hey guys, I have a clutch of 5 budgies the mother is a sky blue spangle and the dad is a normal cobalt the babies are all feathered and we have 2 sky spangles, 1 cobalt normal, 1 albino, and a white and lilac dom pied ???? where does the dom pied com into it is it a recessive gene? Any help would be great thanks guys oh and are albinos always smaller than their brothers and sisters? because my albino is tiny compared to his brothers and sisters the baby born 1 week after him is now bigger?
May 21, 200817 yr Albino can happen due to it being a hidden gene in parents. Dominant pied only happens if either parent is one. Cabinet bred babies or aviary bred ? Sure its a dom pied ?? ...some recessives can look like dom pieds at first.

The parents are definant so it is probably a recessive? it is all white with only a few dots of black on its wings and it is starting to go a sky violet colour on it belly and rump? how do you tell the difference?

Give it time,to grow its feathers & all will be revealed.
May 21, 200817 yr Author If in doubt any pictures of the lot will help us to tell you I know i keep on promising photos but it takes me forever to upload them i have them i wil try and do it later
May 21, 200817 yr Quickest way i find is to press the print screen button, paste it in paint, crop it... then shrink it and upload, then you're ready to go don't even need to use the photobucket edit button when you get them small enough in paint
May 21, 200817 yr I believe pictures of both the parents front and back and the babies would be very helpful :hap:
