Interesting :budgiedance:

This budgie is a DF dominant pied. You can tell this by its mostly white colour ( in this case white because its a blue series bird ), wings are mostly clear. DF Dom pieds have very little colour apart froma concentrated splash of colour over their rump area. They have a sprinkling of wing paterning...very little most often. They have a kind of barring look around the head area very reminiscent of a recessive pied look, but incorperating a patch at the back of their head. Cockbirds who are DF dom pieds most often carry two colours on their cere...mostly pink with a hint of blue. DF Dompieds quite often have one iris ring on one eye and not on the other.

Any other comments welcome.

Hmmmm, Having problems with this one. Maybe if you post a Rec Pied along side and do a comparative analysis.

Here is an interesting couple of photos to show the iris ring thing with DF dom pieds. Both photos taken from the same bird

For Renee..........DF dom pied on the left, recessive on the right

Well, well, well ... whadyaknow. I have a couple of DF Dom Pieds :hap: (previously identified as Rec P :hap: )

 

One of the pairings that Gary looked horrified at (LOL): Magik's parents are both Dom Pieds and in both rounds they produced 1 DF. Currently on their third round and 4 chicks hatched out of 9 fertile eggs, chicks distributed to fosters and today fertile eggs moved to foster on clear eggs.

This was a great idea Kaz, even though I was too chicken to try answering what kinds of pieds they were

The resulting discussion is interesting too. I am curious to know what number 15 is please?

renee post your birds you are talking about, it can help others.

Number 15 is an opaline dominant pied and also greywing I believe........although dilute could also be a possibility.

Can we pin this topic

Not very good pics I'm afraid .... still working on it. But here goes:

 

Magik's parents: 2 Dominant Pieds -

Dad

Mum - Looking a bit worse for wear

 

Magik's brothers:

Dom Pied Grey Green 2nd hatched, the photo does him no favours

Opaline Grey 3rd hatched, Dad attacked him ...

Double Factor Dominant Pied 4th Hatched .... sooooo much smaller than the others

Thanks for posting Renee. Was the grey okay after dad attacked him?

 

And thanks for the reply Kaz. I think #15 is really pretty

Looks like one dom pied parent Renee (can't see evidence of it on the mother)

 

Baby1 is a dom pied, baby2 is an opaline and baby3 is a single factor dom pied

Agree with Libby...

 

This one isnt DF dom pied.

Thanks Renee neither of them look to be Double Factor dom. pieds(two green babies) to me only single factors.

I PMed you Kaz. :hap: sad I came in too late

You must have been too busy studying

 

Remember, a late assignment never gets marked

WOW - It's weird looking at those babies I am soo used to pet one

No Mum is definitely Dom Pied, I shall post a better photo of her tomorrow.

Mum - Looking a bit worse for wear

 

I can see some Pied on the edge of her wing.

Norm is that the white edge??

You can also see the flights are white in this photo.

odd, i see no head patch and no body pied markings... but i guess seeing clearflights at the back will help

Either way chicks are still SF

I love that picture though, she looks as though she wants to break out of jail hehe

Better photo needed Renee

Better photo needed Renee

 

Indeed!

Mum and Dad

Magik's Mum

 

Baby Number 4

 

Why Oh Why is he a Single Factor Dom Pied.

He has Recesive like markings!!!

Surely he is a Double Factor?!

Edited September 3, 200816 yr by renee

I think that what you have is a dominant pied cock mated to a clearflight pied hen. The chicks won't be double factor dominants. From this mating you'd expect about 25% combination dominant pied & clearflight pied, 25% dominant pied, 25% clearflight pied and 25% normals. This would account for Magik looking different

 

You can also see the flights are white in this photo.

I knew I saw the white flights
