Post by rickyc »

when breeding 2 birds that are split buttercup or cleartail you will get visuals but it might not be every time the out come is 50% splits 25% not split and 25% visuals and with 1 bird split and 1 bird visual you will get 50% visuals and 50% splits and that's over the life span of the birds not of each clutch

Pairing a Violet Split Cleartail to a Blue Cleartail will give you either Cleartails or Split Cleartails in both Blue and Violet. Pairing 2 splits can give you Cleartails but the birds that arent Cleartails you will have no idea if they are Split or not to Cleartail.
