I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, but if there is someone who can help me on this one I guess it would come from one of the members...
Peter The distinction between Aqua and Turquoise is one of interpretation at this point in time because we cannot sequence the mutations to compare them...
Well is is a known "fact" with bugie breeders that Gryegreen is use to improve size. My personal opinion is that since most budgerigarbreeders breed with...
Brian, James In contrast to Brian's comments, it has been my observation that Grey factor is associated with larger body structure in all species where it has...
Good day Terry and Brian, Nobody would dispute that proper selection is always the key if you want to fixed a trait to your stock, however, Brian's comments...
Inbreeding itself, does not alter size, but what I think Terry ment to say was, that to keep breeding visuals autosomal recessive colours people tend to breed...
Hello Every body !! I'm making a website with a lot of pictures ...=> http://www.psitta.info I need pictures from psittacula spp and pyrrhura spp . but only...
Hello James and all, I've also observed that on the average, most of the Wild-type and Dominant trait birds tend to be bigger compared to the recessives. So I...
Good day Jaie, I am bit confused on where you stand on the issue. First, you agree with Terry that inbreeding with recessives tend to make the bird smaller....

Good day Jaie and all, In other words, inbreeding in itself, does not have anything to do with birds getting smaller, there is a different process that may or...
Tests have been carried out in mice to determine declining fertility as a consequense of inbreeding. Severel sets of siblings were paired in subsequent...
James My previous post perhaps should have said 'indiscriminate inbreeding'. Unfortunately when establishing new colours the focus of breeding is generally too...
Hi everyone! Just wondering if I am on the right track... Is an Albino Quaker possible by pairing a Lutino split to blue and a split to lutino/split blue? Does...

Very true. Most of my high-end mutations, whether melanin-based or not, are generally smaller. Hence, I'm always on the lookout for big and robust wild-types...
Good day Jaie, Terry, Brian and all, No problem if Terry meant 'indiscriminate inbreeding'. I have not meant though, that inbreeding does not lead to smaller...
If a quaker is split lutino blue, then it is automatically split albino, however considering that it takes two missing genes (i.e. green and yellow) to produce...
Hi Carol: There seems to be a misunderstanding by Monica. In Quakers, Lutino is recessive, not sex-linked, thus far anyway. Carol, You wrote: Is an Albino...
Vern, Thank you for the correction. I wasn't sure if lutino was sex-linked or recessive, and it's been sex-linked in all other species that I know of that may...
Hi Monica: There is a rumor of a sex-linked Lutino; however, so far it has not been confirmed by anyone that I know and trust as reliable. I also know Carol...
Vern, You are mistaken there are both sex linked as well as recessive lutino Quakers in the United States . I have attached a photo of 2 lutino and 1 albino...
http://www.cdpaviary.com Jason, on the sexed link Albino... are the eyes as light as the recessive Albino's are? Or are the eyes dark ruby like the Red Eyed...
Hi Jason: Nice website!!! Thanks for the photos of the Lutinos and Albino Quakers. I am not trying to be argumentative because I have nothing to gain from it;...
While I agree with Terry's comments, in the case of the Budgerigar there is an additional reason why the Grey factor birds are generally the most prominent...
Carol, The sex linked and the recessive lutinos look the same. the only difference in the two is their mode of inheritance. The eyes are bright red. Jason ...
Vern, You may doubt all you like. I have been aware and advised on these "rumored" sex linked lutinos for the last 5 years. "I do not know the breeder Susan...
Good Luck, Darlene, However, beware of hybrids which are rampant in Aussieland. Dollar-chasers are trying to infuse Indian ringnecks into the very small gene...
Good day Ken and all, The analogy to the 'idea of the self-fulfilling prophecy' says it all. Your description on how a slightly advantageous trait for the...
