To start;Again, the hetero. Emerald IRN we know and I have bred has come from pairings with Blue. That said we know that they must have at least one Blue gene. The hetero. Emerald IRN has psitticin so it cannot have 2 Blue genes. The bird then is Emerald /Blue or is EmeraldBlue. If the former then we already have a Green series Emerald as any bird with BlueWildtype at the Blue locus is Green series split Blue. So where are all the Emerald Blue birds? All the hetero. Emerald IRNs have at least one Blue gene and if Emerald is dominant it is highly unlikely that a homo. Blue Emerald has never been bred. Recio, anyone, please dissect this sentence by sentence and come up with another logical explanation, no diverging into yellow structure and the like, just tell me where this logic fails and at which sentence. This is not scientific to keep ignoring facts, especially when the facts have been backed up by breedings and fit perfectly the story of the first Emerald obtained from the wild.
SF Emerald /Blue x Blue =
25% Green /Blue
25% SF Emerald /Blue
25% Blue
25% SF Emerald Blue where are these birds???
Yes or No?Emerald IRN we know and I have bred has come from pairings with Blue. That said we know that they must have at least one Blue gene.
Now let's take just this bit:
Recio has today saidThe hetero. Emerald IRN has psitticin so it cannot have 2 Blue genes.
That is agreed then that the Emeralds we know are not homozygous Blue? Yes or No? If No you are disagreeing with RecioWilly's logics (very correct) is that if BlueBlue is present it is not possible to see any psittacin.
Now let's take this bit:
Yes or No?The bird then is Emerald /Blue or is EmeraldBlue.
Now this bit:
Yes or No?If the former then we already have a Green series Emerald as any bird with BlueWildtype at the Blue locus is Green series split Blue.
If we can get this far with a consensus on just these Yes/No answers we have made far more progress than before. Please play along and participate. Those who don't and who I know have an answer will be named. From here we can then move rapidly forward.
