1. The albino is female, the other budgie looks like a female pied (I'm seeing a splash of green as well as lilac cheek patches). Definitely not lutino as lutinos are all yellow with red eyes.

 

2. Looks like a type 2 yellowface greywing.

Yeppers, I agree with Terri's answers, pretty birds you have.

Yep Me three

 

I think the second hen in the first picture might br a dilute as well.

Yep, I agree with the others Could the green and yellow hen be a double factor dominant pied?

If she develops a light color to her iris, then she's dominant pied. If not, recessive.

Well, she's definately a dominant pied, but I was wondering specifically about whether she was a double factor because she seems to have no wing markings.

well I can't see an iris eye on her which is a sign of a recessive pied.

Any idea how old they are, rab?

Answer : try seperating him or her and placing in a breeding cage if it start calling its a girl

So you think she is only a clear wing not a dilute?

The Albion is a male.

The female is adominant pied.

The last is a Parblue type II dilute. (possibly cinnamon wing)

The albino has a tannish/brown cere, it has to be female. Please don't tell me my monitor is that bad!

 

How can you be sure the female is dominant pied? (I'm not being difficult, I really want to know. I thought it ultimately came down to the iris ring.)

 

 

I'm still getting the genetic stuff straight in my head so...excuse any stupid questions I ask. I have to keep things straight in a very cramped space (my brain).

WOW

 

A BIG Thanks for all the relpys.

 

The 2 young birds are about 8 months old. I'm gona go out and get some better photos of them now. I'll turn of the flash and see if i can get a close shot of the yellow/green hen's eye and a shot of the albino's cere. i'll post them soon as pos.

 

 

Cheers

some more pics of the two birds in question.

 

 

 

 

The albino has a tannish/brown cere, it has to be female.

That's what I saw too Eterri

 

and int he second picture it still looks like a hen to me, the cere is not a bright pink like a baby male but a tan like a hen comming into condition.

 

 

As to the pied, her markings are in the place for a dominant which is why most are saying that, at 8 months I think there is still time for a ring to show up.

great shots, pretty birds
