This is in response to melbournebudgies' post on my last topic.

These are pictures of my budgie hen skipper... before i joined the forum i thought she was a recessive pied, but after learning more on budgie mutations, and now with backup from posts on my forum, i am unsure whether she is a recessive pied or a dominant pied. I'm sorry I couldn't get any better photos, she is an evil hen and she bites HARD

 

P.S. I know that breeding quality hens are supposed to have a crusty brown cere, but is that ^^^ natural?

She is an opaline spangle dom pied.

I agree

okay wow i had no idea!

 

thank you very much kaz & neville

pretty! i know they bite hard from experience! ouch lol

I agree she is a dominant pied

*bugger ... I didn't say the opaline .... I had a guess before I scrolled down the answers LOL

And yes her cere is normal, I have some which are even crustier than that when they are in condition

I didn't know you could have opaline spangle pieds?!?! That is a mouthfull!
