Yes Pallidino that is what we now call a yellow limes and yellow lime is the name that was used for over twenty years. Mick Mick & Karin Blake Owners &...
Hi Mick: Yellow lime indeed was used for both a SL and a NSL melanin reducing mutation, but almost exclusively in Australia. Attemps to introduce lime have...
Thanks to all establishing the correct name, now can someone answer my original question? Can Pallidino mask violet or would there be any indication the violet...
Mallee_1, (real name?) You never have said what species of psittacine you are inquiring about. I
am not familiar with other species, but if you are talking...
PallidIno cannot mask violet totally as there is still a bit of green from remnant structure in the bird which presumably will still be darkened by the violet...
I've been speaking with someone about the sex-linked lutino mutation in cockatiels. Their avian vet (as well as other vets and people, supposedly) believe that...
Hi Monica, If the hen carries no genetic coding on the Y chromosome, then she could only be split for "nothing". That is the reason sex-linked mutations yield...
That certainly makes sense in it's own way... although I know it's also possible to have an ablino (two whiteface genes and one ino), or even a lutino pied or...
Yes but these are carried in different places on the same gene, we have breed many cinnamon lutino pearl(opaline)hen now that is three sex-linked colours all...
Monica, The hen can certainly be split for mutations not found on the sex-determining chromosomes, such as the ones you mention. As "nothing" does not exist,...
LOL! I'm still trying to make sense of this message! I understand that hens can only pass visual sex-linked mutations as long as the male is also carrying the...
You have got it exactly, what everyone is trying to say is female are either visually carrying the sex linked gene and are not split to any sex linked they...
Allan said ... "You have got it exactly" ... well not quite because Monica made the comment "if she passes on the sex-linked mutation, only SOME males will be...
Did it again, didn't I? Thanks Steve! I was thinking about mutations the hen could be split for, and worded that very poorly! (mutations that the hen may not...
Hi Monica: There are a few items that you should be aware of. The so-called sex-chromosomes correctly are called Z/Z (male) and Z/W (hen) in birds. It is...
Hello Rick: I think I have not been clear enough :). I meant to say in a simple way: in cockatiels: grey + ino = grey minus the black pigment . Left are yellow...
A few weeks back I have asked the possibility of combining violet with grey for those species where these mutations exist. It was Allan Mcdonald who assured me...
Hi Can someone please shed some light on the following: 1. In Terry's book he list two Dilutes (Dilute Mutant1 (Pastel - Europe) and Dilute Mutant2 (Dilute -...
Hi everyone, i was forwarded this advertisement on the red african greys, and i was wondering if anyone has any ideas about what mutation this might be? They...
Why wouldn't it be a pied. It means the African Grey's melanin covers up a red psittacin. Fascinating. Marie ... No virus found in this outgoing message. ...
Certainly in budgerigars Violet Greys (and Violet Grey Greens) do exist, but are rarely deliberately bred. Violet Greys are still visually Grey but their...
Good day Ken, Thanks for validating Allan's claim. And now you presented some evidences that violet, grey and the dark factor can exist in one bird. True...
Hello James. Just wanted to correct your statement that a true violet bird must have one dark factor. Birds with two violet factors and no Dark also exhibit...
Hello everyone. I saw these photos some months back and my mind went wandering. This could indeed be an Opaline, which is known to re-distribuate psittascine. ...
Nicole, Marie, Brian The wildtype African Grey does not have hidden red, as shown by the phenotype of the Ino morph. I do not think this is an Opaline, since...
Terry, What about the existence of what seems to be three phenotypes on top of the normal bird? Are there two ‘visual splits’ for instance? Willy _____ ...
