I tried to punch it into the calculator for you
http://www.gencalc.com/gen/eng_genc.php?sp=0PsitIR

I got greygreen/blue cinnamon male
green/blue cinnamon male
greygreen cinnamon/blue female
green cinnamon/blue female

that was with a single factor grey for the female.

is 8 weeks old enough to be completely weaned? How did you wean, with abundance, or just simply cut him off? I know some birds regress back to needing hand feedings for a little bit..

Just curious, as I'm hoping to be coping with this soon.

swanwillow

I don't cover any of my birds anymore, unless I'm being up especially late some night. The ringnecks are always lights out right now at 7 pm, up at 6 am. The pets are different; if they are out of thier cages, my lory plays with my ekkie until I separate them. If they are in their cages, my lorikeet...

swanwillow

Sometimes, I think so too, but noone wants to trade!!

swanwillow

kay.

I'll mark it on the calendar

swanwillow

training the dogs, and making sure dogs listen to you is KEY. If you can teach them the birds are off limits at ALL TIMES, even on the floor, it works. My lorikeet is a floor bird. She came to me with a really bad wing clip, and she hasn't been able to fly yet. (sheesh, she NEEDS a good moult!) So s...

swanwillow

Its been a few days, hope they made it allright.

I would have said do as you normally do, and don't act suspicious. If you start checking on them every 5 minutes, when you normally check on them once a day.. they might get more nervous and leave the nests.

My male and female ringnecks have now been separated for 3 weeks. If noone remembers; my male was beating my female to the point of needing separating.. It all culminated in the day he tried to pull her back up onto a certain perch by her wing. Her eye was cloudy, and she just.. seemed.. bad. So, th...

swanwillow

Gosh I wish my female was like that!!! My male needs a good beating...

swanwillow

*sighs* still separated. I can't believe its only been 2 weeks! The female is acting, well, bratty. Shes now biting, flying, nasty little joy! The male just perches on that side of the cage, watching and flock calling to her. She mostly ignores it, until he makes a certain noise, then she'll call ba...

swanwillow

the pictures of Dragonfly turned out awesome! shes the green cheek conure/ sub santa cruz conure.
looks really close to the pictures!

swanwillow

okay, well...

Jeremy came back. 12 pages on the other forum and he answers it on the last one

Parblue DF Violet Pallid, Cobalt Parblue, Cobalt DF Violet Parblue, Parblue SF Violet Pallid

swanwillow

then what are you waiting for?

swanwillow

see? confusing.

oh well, right?

they ARE cuties!

swanwillow

honestly.. NO CLUE

with their colors, its about the only things WE can think of!

swanwillow

we're figuring theres recessive pied in them.. so, going by that (mostly yellow birds) But, the split is ONLY if the male is also split to pallid, which is a question in and of itself.. these are the current guesses. Male - Normal Green/Turquiose Cobalt/Pallid (which I beleive you have in your clutc...

swanwillow

we know which two are violet.. theres two of them.. it shows up in the rump. One factor a piece. The problem is is that with heavy piedness, they could turn up yellow, and without something making them yellow, they'd all be the blue/green colors the other two are.

swanwillow

yes, but.. colors? ugh.. and they aren't mine.. wish they were though!!!

swanwillow

at this current point in time, we are unsure if the male is split to anything...

so guess away!

swanwillow

yussir.. these are not my pictures, just so ya'll know. credit goes to lucky13forme from the birdloversonline forum.. there, did my crediting. Black eyes. bubs; hopefully this will work edit; first time didn't work... lets try again mom and bub http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/Swanwillow/muman...

swanwillow

how bout I send you there, and you help!! ygMail for everyone else; what it amounts to is that we know the parents, we know the combinations the parents can throw.. but we can't figure out for the life of us what they are! sounds easy, right? HA! Aqua Turquoise Pied x Cobalt Turquoise SF Violet: Thi...

swanwillow

Hi, I'm in a different part of the world, but.. I'd love to do the same thing your doing! In the US there ARE a lot of big-business places. They make their money by having lots of hard-to-find birds (hawkheads, rare quakers/ringnecks, macaws, 'toos, well, if it costs more than $1000 USD, they sell T...

swanwillow

I used clorox wipes for a long time cleaning my lorikeets cage, and have used the sprays to get those super tough spots in my ringnecks cage. WITH the windows open. With my lorikeet, I didn't rinse. With the ringnecks I did. I was more worried about the fumes than the cleaner itself. Blueberry was a...

swanwillow

Do any of you know lovebird mutation genetics? On a board I'm a mod of, we had Jeremy helping us figure them out, and now we've gotten QUITE stuck on 4 babies. Usually its pretty straightforward, and theres 5 of us that have gone out TRYING to get it down, but... my gosh these 4 bubs have us stuck.

swanwillow

oh, aren't they ADORABLE!!! I want babies now!

swanwillow

FWIW-separated. I moved their cage 2 feet to the right (easier access and more sunlight) and he started attacking her. Took me about 10 minutes, but I got him. He's in a smaller cage, I left her in the big cage... We'll see what happens from here. If she gets more used to her cage without a male, an...

swanwillow

yup, I get to watch them. Shes starting to get more aggressive, sooo..

like I said, the other separation cages are within reach!

swanwillow

I agree! after reading on another forum what happened, which is just SICK, I'm glad your finding love with another baby!

swanwillow

well, I didn't separate them. I know, I know but.. the next day.. and every day since my last post. Shes in the nest box!!! SO I ain't gonna move them. Shes coming out for food and drink, and hes leaving her alone. And other than attacking everyone through the cage, Relish is being a good boy. If he...

swanwillow

from m so its about doves? still explains it a bit. Chromosomes are located within the nucleus of a cell and carry the genes. There are two categories of chromosomes -- autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes are any chromosome other than a sex chromosome. Autosomal recessives: Since autosomes occu...

swanwillow

I've read alot on how they can be flighty if not handled often.. but now we're going WAY OT.

But, WE NEED MORE PICTURES of your new baby!

swanwillow

What a beautiful akita and pit! Now those are dogs I trust. Here's a cool article on Akita behavior- what it should be and how to make it so. Beware: it's a long read... m I haven't even finished reading it yet but so far my mind runs parallel to the author. The Akita is one of my favourite breeds ...

swanwillow

I bought them as an unproven pair. I'll get out the gloves and separate tomorrow then.. good thing I have extra cages! I was actually thinking she might make a good pet... shes so timid, but takes food so nice compared to his trying to kill you attitude. Which, I think points to him being a previous...

swanwillow

well, I figured out the problem. I moved them last week out into the kitchen, in hopes that they get more used to people. In return, I can see them more (and sneak them bites of broccoli-they LOVE broccoli!) ANYWAY. its the male.. hes beating the bejeezus outta her! He tried pulling on her wing, to ...

swanwillow

I've been using some brown arm and hammer type that I like now-its advertised as biodegradable.. hated the crystals cause my cat likes to make them fly when you guys are talking about white paper and sand; what do you mean? I was reading an old book out of the early 80's, and they talked about using...

swanwillow

I don't like the crystal litter-I prefer more natural ones...

but, thats a personal choice

swanwillow

as a reminder, that I like to bring up.. calorie intake. Parrots only need, depending upon species, 50-500 calories a day.. I'm guessing ringnecks are in the 150 cal/day range... where the largest of the macaws MIGHT hit 500 a day, Budgies and lovvies around 50, some less even. lets say that one chi...

swanwillow

interesting... I started reading on that, not much info though.. something about Cytomegalovirus, but thats all thats mentioned. I'll have to ask. I just recently bought these birds.. well, 4 months or so ago. SO I really have no background, other than yes, her eye looked funny before; shes also the...

swanwillow

my females eye has never looked.. right. I figured okay, shes just blind. So I let it go... I don't mess with them altogether TOO much, but today I realized that it looks cloudy, and a little puffy... Its been slowly getting cloudier and cloudier, and it took til today for me to realize that its act...

swanwillow

COMPLETELY agree! Who's right and who's wrong? That's the least of our worries. What's important is that your bird does well on what he is being fed and does well both physically and mentally. So many health issues and behavioral problems stem from inadequate or improper foods. Vitamin A deficiency ...

swanwillow

well.. start with one bag instead of 2 of a bean mix, and a cup of brown rice. I soaked mine for 4 hours, then cooked in a crock pot for 4. while it soaks and cooks, start chopping! The sweet potato has to be slightly steamed. Raw is good! just watch out for sulfurized dried fruits and veggies from ...

swanwillow

well, what a week! its hard having people pass, especially when they are close to you. I lost an uncle a few years ago, it hit hard. It sometimes helps to go out and help others that are in need; I work at an old folks home, and people die, I've become almost numb to the fact although at the place I...

swanwillow

well, I don't think I have to research that very far... everything about milk being toxic is by vegan groups. HARD CORE vegan groups. I only found things about meat being toxic by the same types of groups; hard core vegans, animal rights activists. Other than e. coli and other bacteria (I can quote ...

swanwillow

I guess I really DID bite the bullet, huh?

well, I'm off to research this 'meat and dairy is toxic' theory, I'll be back in a few hours on my findings...

*cue superman music*

swanwillow

just for the record.. I failed my senior year of college, and genetics was one of the classes I failed...

swanwillow

yup, that helps too. I think I just needed to know how to run the gen calulator better!
silly machine. NOW I can start hitting those buttons more!

swanwillow

ahhh

well, now that I can work the calculator a tiny bit better.. sheesh, I was going about that SO wrong!

swanwillow

its actually decreasing the amount of seeds for eclectus, which is the base of my food.. an ekkie diet, needs more fiber than other birds...

and its a lot harder to put more in than to take it out!

swanwillow

nevermind, I think I figured it out.

the female musta been split to turq. for the males to have come out looking turq.

swanwillow

in a way, yes I am... so spew out that good ole thing you guys do!

and in another way, the reason I didn't understand the calculator, is cause thats the pairing that gave me my turq. cock, but according to the calculator I was looking at, turq wouldn't be a result...
