Hello all. I've been breeding exhibition cockatiels now for about 10 years. I have come across a normal cockatiel that was born with a small tick mark behind...
Kim Allan's comments relate to breeding Budgies for show purposes. The genetics of colour are not different to any other parrot species. Terry ... From: Allan...
Subsequent breedings of both of the parents have not produced these markings. Is there such thing as pied modifiers being progressive in nature? ... ...
Hi Leslie/Susanne and All, Attached is a current photo of Susanne's DYC Pied chick. Several observations... the mask is now clear... this is not supposed to...
Thanks! I appreciate your responses. It seems there are so many blues in the budgies, more so than parrotlets I am not sure if I have identified my birds...
I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion but the cockatiel in the attached picture had similar features to the one Rick showed with the thinner...
Hi Kim, I suggest you take a look here for pictures: http://www.gencalc.com/gen/eng_genc.php?sp=0Budg (It's a pity that some people with good budgies don't...
I'm not an expert on cockatiels, but in budgerigars there is at least 2 (possibly more) mutations of Mottle, each having progressive pied characteristics. One...
You can take a look at this site for a good explanation and pictures.? it has helped me out a lot. http://www.budgieplace.com/colors.html Briana French ...
Hi Briana Yes great web site, but for the chaps the like it over the top technical would not like it, as it is strait to the point and for the layman to...
Thanks Pablo, these sites do help! In a message dated 6/3/2008 1:31:09 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Genetics-Psittacine@yahoogroups.com writes: suggest you...
Can you send me the pics in an email? huegerichl@... I am on no mail. Mine is split to pearl too! Whiteface Pearl/Lutino and Pied cock Lutino Pied hen ...
Thanks to all! I would appreciate any pictures sent to my email address. I only have this on no mail. But, this is an interesting topic. I, for one, don't...
Rick, Was the whiteface of yours on your site ever out in the sun? I see this mottling when birds go out in the sun. I've seen someone's aviary here in NC...
Well - Fran, I don't know what color your Linnie is -- but I would surely like to have it. Jim ... could not figure how to attach the pictures. Well here goes....
Thank you, I sure wish that someone from the group would answer my question and let me know if it is a D or a DD green. I have not heard from anybody. ...
Hi Leslie and Everyone, The Cinnamon Whiteface 'Mottle' shown on my website is not mine, I only took the photo. This bird was not ever out in the sun but lived...
... You may want to try Terry's book for a hereditary answer. Or the genetic calculator. Fran try these two web sites. Also I would imagine your bird would...
That is interesting then! I pulled from my birds back a few feathers from the side that is not yet turning colors yet. We'll see if those feathers grow back...
I have uploaded photo's of a Darkred Ara in the Ara Album. Can anybody help my friends in Denmark in classification og this mutation. Name, etc. Thank's in...
Hi Kund-Erik, With the feet that colour and the flights, If this was my mutation I would call if a pied Greenwing. But that is me. Mick Mick & Karin Blake ...
Roger, Nice to see you here. In theory, there should not be any interaction between Cinnamon and NSL Ino. Therefore, no Cinnamon interaction as well with the...
Hi All, by the fact, that one (Cinnamon) is a sex linked and the other (NSL Ino) is an autosomnal mutation, there is no possibility for a allelic or crossing...
Hi Frank, I think Roger's question was based on the observed Cinnamon-SL Ino interaction (such as on Budgies and IRNs) that produces the Lacewing phenotype and...
My impression was that the NSL Ino gene effects the pathways in a different part to the SL Ino,Totally different pathways to produce the same phenotype and...
Hi Jaie Could it be that both the mentioned birds might be carrying the Greygreen gene as well? I've heard quite a few mentions that an Albino carrying the...
Good day Wynand, Jaie and all, It has been suggested for quite a while now that if you want the bluish/greenish stains on your albino or ino out of the way,...
Hey Wynand & Every Birdie, we know that the cock is Greygreen / Blue / Cleartail & the hen is Cleartailed Blue ; so indeed at least 50% (if cock is SF...
