May 8, 201015 yr Looks like a hen to me It 'looks' clearflighted in the pics, but then dommy pieds have varied amounts of clear feather so she may just be a dommy pied with very little clear feathering, OR the dad is a dommy clearflight combo pied.

May 9, 201015 yr A Normal bird,with a spot on its head, is classed as a Dominant Pie. or Recessive pie & can only shown in those classes but no one would show them.
May 21, 201014 yr Author They are Dominant Pieds with very little penetrance of the pied factor. All pied budgerigars are characterised by having irregular patches of completely clear feathers appearing anywhere in the body, head or wings. These clear feathers are pure white in blue series birds and yellow in birds ofthe green series. Such patches are completely devoid of black melanin pigment. The remainder of the body is co loured normally. The Clearflight Pied has two main characteristics: a clear patch at the nape of the neck and, ideally, completely clear primary flight and long tail feathers. All other features are normal.

May 22, 201014 yr the only way to truley know is to breed your pied to a rec pied if its clearflighted pied you will get black eyed clears if not then its dom You would only get dark eyed clears if it was a clearflight pied split to recessive pied. To get dark eyed clear the recessive pied gene must come from both parents Edited May 22, 201014 yr by Neville
