So was I right with the other question Nerwen? What about the part I didn't answer, can you tell me the answer?

soon want to see if others get it first, the picture is more for lin.

In fact lin try this one too:

Green Male X Blue Hen

Edited December 18, 200519 yr by Nerwen

Okay the picture is a dominant pied (the one next to it is recessive I think I can see a spot of colour on that one)

green x blue? well, green is a mix of blue and yellow, I think, so you could get a mix of all 3 colours?

 

Oh I don't know, I'm talking through my bottom

Are we seeing the same picture? I one i posted and am seeing is one the one in my Sig on the right and.... the one the loves to 'hit' on her. (left) There are no pied bird in the picture at all. (the one on the right is a hard to pick and confusing mutation )

 

I think, so you could get a mix of all 3 colours?

okay what colour to you end up with when mixing these three colours?

(the thre you mean I think are green, blue and yellow.)

Mmm, yellowfaced? Dilute? (I'm pretty sure it's a dilute *fingers, toes, legs, armas and eyes crossed*)

And the other question, I meant you would get a mixture of green, blue or yellow babies, perhaps 50% green?

*hits head* Oh NO, Sorry lin I just realised I swaped the right and left around Eek. Sorry I do that sometime, and if you think that is bad you should see me with numbers >_<

 

Actually not a bad guess for the yellow one there, she does look a bit like a dilute, and her face mask is a darker shade to her body. She even has the paler flight feathers of a Greywing. :bluebudgie:

okay but the one I'm really after is the one on the RIGHT. (got it that time) And your very close with ONE of your last guesses :ausb:

Edited December 19, 200519 yr by Nerwen

What's so confusing is the yellow and the black on the wings, so with your hint I will say yellow wing

Ahh I see what is bothering you Here is anotehr picture and the way my hints are going I'm going to throw them all in the bin.

 

 

And a young one:

Opaline? Which i still don't truly understand.

What is the part bothering you? Opaline is very easy to spot when matched with normal.

 

opaline

Normal

Opaline chances the wing edge colour from the head colour to the body color. Leaving a 'v' shape patch of body colour between the wings.

 

Now have anothe look at the pics of the one we are guessing.

Okay, so the one we are guessing is not opaline. Then I have no idea

Lin what can you tell me about....Yellowfaces?

Nerwen when can I guess the list...is 5 days up yet.

 

Oh and when can I guess what the yellow face Parblue (type 1) is.....oooppps sorry

Guess now Daz! It's been 5 days according to the date on Nerwens post, and I want to know the answer!!

 

Edit:

 

okay, I want to answer question 2 before Daz does (even though I'm not sure). I think yellowwing is the same as clearwing, so my answer is:

 

green cock/clearwing X yellowwing hen

 

= 50% green/clearwing (males and females)

50% yellowwing (males and females)

Edited December 20, 200519 yr by Ausmoz

They have yellow faces? Let me research it Nerwen, after a little nap, Chrissy shopping exhausts me faster than my bank balance)

Pair One

Blue SF Spangle cock X Green Normal hen

 

Cocks

25% Cock - (SF) Spangle / Blue

25% Cock - Green (SF) Spangle

Hens

25% Hen - (SF) Spangle / Blue

25% Hen - Green (SF) Spangle

 

 

Pair Two

green cock/ clearwing X yellowwing hen

 

Yellowwing? Do you mean Brownwing or greywing?

 

 

Pair Three

Blue Pied (no iris ring) cock X Blue normal/ pied hen

 

Cocks

25% Cock - Pied , Blue

25% Cock - Blue / Pied

Hens

25% Hen - Pied , Blue

25% Hen - Blue / Pied

 

 

Pair Four

Opaline Blue cock x Normal blue Hen

 

Cocks

50% Cock - Blue / Opaline

Hens

50% Hen - Opaline Blue

 

Hows that Nerwen?

Edited December 20, 200519 yr by daz

Yay :(Laughing out loud): Our answers are the same Daz, but yours look neater

Think Bea might Kill me but The answers:

Ausmoz -100% Correct

Daz- 75% correct (not counting the one you asked about )

I would have writen the first as:

50% (sf) spangles /blue

50% green normal

 

ausmoz-there is no real way when just looking at a bird to tell if it is normal/normal. SO it is pointless to list it. Test breedings can show that there are no hidden traits.

 

daz- This is only a co-dominant gene so with a sf not all babies will get the spangle gene. If the male was a df spangle then your answer would be correct.

 

Pair two

Yellowwing is the other name for clear wing when talking about a green line bird. the answer:

50% green Clearwing

50% Green normal/ clearwing

 

Pair three:

We are talking about recessive pied here.

50% with get a pied gene from both parents making them blue pied

50% goet one normal and one pied making them split for pied

 

pair four

Opaline is sex linked so all the females of the clutch will show the opaline gene but all the males are only given one opaline gene making them split for males need two gene to show.

 

50% Blue Cock / Opaline

50% BlueOpaline Hen

The wait is over! Thanks for the quiz Nerwen, I really enjoyed it. And Bea, please forgive Nerwen for posting the answer before you got a go, it may have been partially my fault

Doesn't matter, i've been to busy shopping to come on here much the last couple of days so that's my fault! :(Laughing out loud):

I got more than 50% :bluebudgie:

 

and I learnt something. Thank Nerwen.

:bluebudgie: I thought you would have gotten the yellowwing bit :ausb: since it was the last mutation we spoke about. Would others of you like more of that? They are easy to make up :rip: Don't worry Lin I'll put them in the different thread

Anything that helps me learn about budgie genetics would be wonderful! At the moment I want to learn about yellow face and grey mutations (goodness knows why...)

Edited December 21, 200519 yr by Ausmoz

okay i am really really new to this and taking a real stab in the dark as i'm not really sure what can work and what cant.... but here goes ...

 

hes pretty pale so i'm gonna guess a dilute, but his wings arent as light as your example of a dilute but his wings are black or like a clearwing either ( i think)

 

so can i guess as.... a dilute greywing? Is that even a mutation.

 

Can i just say i'm quite embarssed putting this up here incase i'm way off... so who ever answers can you tell me if i'm right or wrong and why? either way?

 

Thanks.. hoping i'm not too way off.

 

 

OOPS - posted about a bird ages and am prolly really really wrong - but cant manage to delete my post :S How mbarassing

Don't be embarassed. We all have to start somewhere. When I first started I thought my Recessed pied was a dilute. .

 

That is what we are here to help with. Helping people understand budgies more.

 

Can you post a picture of your bird and we will try to tell you what he is and why?
