Posted January 26, 200619 yr HEY Some more questions. picture.1. A young Albino but not sure if it's a cock or a hen. What do you guy's think? picture.1. A young hen which i think is a Lutino. Am i right? picture.2. Would i be right in saying he is a lightgreen , graywing , normal? picture.1. picture.2. Cheers
January 26, 200619 yr 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. Edited January 26, 200619 yr by eterri
January 26, 200619 yr Yep Me three I think the second hen in the first picture might br a dilute as well.
January 27, 200619 yr Yep, I agree with the others Could the green and yellow hen be a double factor dominant pied?
January 27, 200619 yr If she develops a light color to her iris, then she's dominant pied. If not, recessive.
January 27, 200619 yr 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.
January 27, 200619 yr picture.1. A young Albino but not sure if it's a cock or a hen. What do you guy's think? Answer : try seperating him or her and placing in a breeding cage if it start calling its a girl picture.1. A young hen which i think is a Lutino. Am i right? Answer : Close it is whats called a double factor clearwing or pied picture.2. Would i be right in saying he is a lightgreen , graywing , normal? Answer :again not bad Yellow faced blue greywing Cheers :hap: "Docca " PS is it true Billy Connolly calls them #@** Boodgies Edited January 27, 200619 yr by Nerwen
January 27, 200619 yr The Albion is a male. The female is adominant pied. The last is a Parblue type II dilute. (possibly cinnamon wing) Edited January 27, 200619 yr by daz
January 27, 200619 yr 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).
January 27, 200619 yr 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
January 27, 200619 yr 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.
