Posted April 15, 201015 yr hey everyone is it best to breed the one colour of budgies for best colour results of the offsprings?
April 15, 201015 yr What do you mean one colour...? Do you mean two green budgies together...? Are you talking about show or pet type budgies too...? Why do I ask because all of this matters as to who we breed with what... Example, show budgies we breed two budgies together that would breed us show quality young... The cock and hen would have to cancel out each others faults... One with short mask other with long mask... And there are some varieties we do not breed together at all...
April 15, 201015 yr im talking about breeding show birds, as if two yellows together will this bring me better results of what colour the young are?? thanks
April 15, 201015 yr It all depends on their genetics... When you say Yellow Birds, are they Lutino's or DF Spangles? What were their parents?
April 15, 201015 yr Example for Lutino's (yellow budgies) if you bred the two together you get Lutino young... But Lutino come in different shades of yellow too... so you may end up with some dull yellow and really deep golden yellows... You could use the Grey greens to a Lutino to give them more features, buff, feather directions, etc... Because you are talking about all varieties there is so much info for it all you would have to read some of the other posts available on the forum to learn more... Hope this helps...
April 15, 201015 yr It all depends on their genetics... When you say Yellow Birds, are they Lutino's or DF Spangles? What were their parents? wat are genetics? not sure weather they are lutinos or DF spangles im not sure what there parents were i brought them at a pet shop i didnt breed them guess you cant help me out as i dont no much about them thanks anyway
April 15, 201015 yr do they have black eyes or red eyes? Are they completely Yellow or do they have Black/Cinamon Markings? Edited April 15, 201015 yr by JimmyBanks
April 15, 201015 yr do they have black eyes or red eyes? Are they completely Yellow or do they have Black/Cinamon Markings? they have red eyes with white tips on the tip of there wing sorry about before i was over reacting sorry
April 15, 201015 yr do they have black eyes or red eyes? Are they completely Yellow or do they have Black/Cinamon Markings? they have red eyes with white tips on the tip of there wing sorry about before i was over reacting sorry Dunno what your sorry for but theres no need to be sorry I didn't get offended by anything you said. now I'm trying to figure out what I was meant to get upset with... okay so they are both Lutino's... That being the case, I wouldn't breed lutino x lutino, unless they are a top notch pair, I'd be pairing them up to some Grey Greens like LittleBudgie2005 said in order to increase size and other features... Hope this helps.

April 15, 201015 yr Dunno what your sorry for but theres no need to be sorry I didn't get offended by anything you said. now I'm trying to figure out what I was meant to get upset with... You missed out on some earlier posts JB But moving on............... so your lutinos are male and female Hayden ? as it can be hard to tell with them

April 15, 201015 yr wat would happen if i did lutino x lutino?? I'm no expert when it comes to genetics, as my quiz results show but from what I've read it can result in smaller offspring. Not what show breeders want...
April 15, 201015 yr yer there lutinos as far as i no Thats not what I was asking....it seems they are lutinos. I was asking if you are very sure you have a male and female as it can be hard to tell with lutinos. If you arent too sure we can help.

If you arent too sure we can help. oh sorry im pretty sure they are male and female i no one of them are female because she has bred before Edited April 15, 201015 yr by hayden
April 15, 201015 yr If they are a female and male Lutino and bred together you would only get lutino's... But that doesnt take into any splits they may have... Splits are hidden genetic's they dont show on the outside...Lutino's are hard to sex until they are mature enough to breed... As Lutino's have a gene that stop all black markings showing on them and also effects their cere (nose) colour... Photo's would be a great help to us if you need to confirm that they are male and female... :)Has she breed for you or someone else...?

April 15, 201015 yr Has the hen been with the same cock both times? It would help if we knew the outcomes of the chicks from previous clutches. The way to tell if the cock is a cock, His cere (fleshy part above nose) should be pink or a purple colour. If both of their noses are brown, you have two hens

If both of their noses are brown, you have two hens looks like i have a hen and a cock then! as one of them have blue ceres and the other has brown ceres no the hen has been with two different cocks, one was blue and the other yellow with black and blue markings the offsprings colour from the blue cock were bright green and cinamon the offspring from the other cock is a cimamon colour too
April 15, 201015 yr A male Lutino should have a Pink or purple cere. Hen should have brown. If your "lutino" has a blue cere, he may be a pied , check him for any green, or he may be a double factor spangle. Check the eyes again, because they will not be red unless he is a Lutino
