Posted July 2, 201114 yr Hey everyone,, I'm new to this forum I currently have four budgies,. I have and almost albino cock, a Violet Grey Mauve (I think) cock, a yellow faced sky blue cinnamon (i think) hen, and a skyblue with white wings hen. I will try to upload photos. If I upload photos would you be able to tell me what colours they actually are? Thanks http://s1125.photobucket.com/albums/l590/misslovemypets/Birds/?action=view¤t=DSCN1817.jpg http://s1125.photobucket.com/albums/l590/misslovemypets/Birds/?action=view¤t=DSCN1817.jpg#!oZZ2QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1125.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl590%2Fmisslovemypets%2FBirds%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DDSCN1816.jpg http://s1125.photobucket.com/albums/l590/misslovemypets/Birds/?action=view¤t=DSCN1817.jpg#!oZZ3QQcurrentZZhttp%3A%2F%2Fs1125.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fl590%2Fmisslovemypets%2FBirds%2F%3Faction%3Dview%26current%3DDSCN1813.jpg I apologise, I don't know how to upload photos directly to the wall.

July 2, 201114 yr Hi and welcome Here's your bird photos ( next time use the img link and just paste into your reply or post ) about the "almost albino" You cant have an almost albino. it is either an albino or it isnt. Albinos have red eyes and are pure white. Which is the one you think is almost albino ? Edited July 2, 201114 yr by **KAZ**

July 2, 201114 yr Author Hi and welcome Here's your bird photos ( next time use the img link and just paste into your reply or post ) Thankyou about the "almost albino" You cant have an almost albino. it is either an albino or it isnt. Albinos have red eyes and are pure white. Which is the one you think is almost albino ? Sorry, I should have said mostly white, not albino. Although I've owned budgies half my life, I've only had them as pets. I'm only just trying to learn the colour names and such now hello welcome you have a grey cinnamon dom pied cock (if his eyes are red then also fallow would be my guess but id say the plum eyes are reflecting from lights and hes just a cin dom pied )a yf sky blue hen a sky blue hen and a mauve grey as you said cock only the grey dom is cinnamon though beautiful birds spesh the dom boy Thank-you!!! All the birds have black eyes, so that means he is a grey cinnamon dom pied cock? Sorry (I'm new to colouring and genetics and such), I must sound stupid, but what is dom? Is that dominant as in genetics?
July 3, 201114 yr no question is ever stupid you should read some the things i have asked or even said for that matter yes dom pied is dominant genetic you will get 50 /50 in nest normal and dom pieds depending what hen you put him with depends on what else you get the yf hen you would get yf at 50/50 also as its a dominant genetic also
July 3, 201114 yr Author Thankyou Out of interest, if I were to breed one pair next season, what which cock and hen would you suggest and what would the possible colours of the babies be? Edited July 3, 201114 yr by misslovely
