i know birds have different commen names per country daz but surly if 95% of people know a bird by golden face instead of a Parblue Mutant II we should use the most commen i mean it doesnt really affect me as i know about the mutations ect but i was thinking for people who are just starting out ive had a look at all my books and the likes of Parblue Mutant II, Dilute Mutant I dont get a mention including all my budgerigar world mags which are available world wide and have many articles from people in australia

 

I agree. But the topic name is interesting facts. I agree that the terms are not commonally used. But some people may be interested in terms deeper than "Sky Blue"

Macka when I first got interested in Breeding and Genetics I bought a book in it. It had all these terms, when I started with the club I found 50% was not used and the terms such as parblue was Suffusion. But it was interesting at the time and gives me the basics on pairing these days.

One of Ken Yorke`s CD you just type in the known history of the hen & cock

I got a program called Bird Tracker.. It does the same. I still use it but rely more on The Budgerigar Program.
