Posted May 30, 200915 yr Hello! I have just goten 4 new english's budgies in and so I am thinking of re-pairing (lol) some of my birds this year, to get some nice chicks. So for all the breeders out there, who would you pair with who to get some nice looking chicks? I only have time for about 4 maybe 5 pairs I am going to do this coming season. My Females: Candy-Opaline Spangle Violet Willow-Opaline Grey Macadamia-Normal Sky Blue Charlie-Dominant Pied (Maybe Double Factor) Crumble-YF Opaline Blue Medusa-YF2 cinnamon opaline sky blue Angel(English)-White Opaline Lacewing Foxtrot(English)-Grey Spangle(Her father is a yf grey opaline and her mother is a yf spangle sky (very pretty). So, according to genetics, she is possibly a DF YF) My Males: Squeak-Spangle Cobalt Ozzie-Greywing Grey Apollo-Type 2 yellow face spangle sky blue. (possibly split to Ino) Romeo-Normal Violet Phantom-YF2 DF Spangle Archie-Green Clearflight No Name(English)- YF Grey Normal Melon(Engslih)-Light Green Dilute Cinnamon Spangle- Split to lacewing Edited May 30, 200915 yr by Squeak_Crumble
May 30, 200915 yr Some nice size pics would be good to see who would be better with her unless you are only after colour
May 30, 200915 yr I try to keep my pairs in close proximity of each other's mutation, like my greens go with my greens opalines with opalines etc etc, that way you have a positive idea of what you are going to get from them. but if you want a whole mixture of colors in the genes of the offspring, then pair completely different types, Example: White Opaline Lacewing + Type 2 yellow face spangle sky blue that way it's a mixed gene. but MY opinion is to keep colors with color's unless you have no choice but to switch around pairs that dont suit well with one another. but it's all up to you.
