Pairing question

[JonoH]

Hi all

I have 3 breeding pairs of Ringnecks that are all in the one large aviary at the moment while i'm landscaping my backyard and building them a new aviary, this means however that i had no control over the pairings this year and my Violet Lacewing female has paired off with a Green male.

Just wondering what the babies will be - all green?

Thanks

Jono

If the Green is split for Blue you'll get Violet Blues and Blues as well as Violet Greens and Greens.

All males will be split to Pallid (lacewing).

I'm fairly certain that my green is not split to blue - only green, does this mean that i would only get greens and violet greens?

[sheyd]

yep

[JonoH]

Cheers, thanks for the fast response!

OK i have the baby from this pair feathered out now and was trying to work out what mutation it is, any ideas?





To me it looks like a violet green.

To me it looks like a violet green.

Agreed. And split for pallid considering the mother.

Will be sending off some feathers to DNA test it next week so will let you know the results.

Its amazing how the blue in the center of the tail shows up heaps more in a photo than to the naked eye.
