Heya, without knowing which parent is the albino (ino is a sex linked mutation, results vary if dad or mum was the albino bird).

Blue is what they are visually, however the albino parent means the genetics need to be looked into before I can give you an answer as to what they might be from a genetic standing.

Need a better photo of the pale blue bird before I can say what it is. Looks like a cinnamon blue bird, but its flights are very pale, there are mutations (like fallow) that do this, but better pics of the bird could save alot of guessing.

Cheers

If they are boys, they are Blue split ino.

If they are girls, they are just Blue.

Ino is the correct term.

Ino in blue birds makes them go Albino (white)
Ino in green birds makes them go Lutino (yellow)

To get those pale blue (cinnamon) birds the dad must also be split cinnamon.

Now, if the mum is just a plain albino (blue and ino) and the dad is Blue split ino split cinnamon, then cinnamon blue birds born will be hens.

All ino birds from a non ino hen can only be females, due to the way ino works as a mutation. So if the mum is not albino, any albino young she produces are hens.

Likewise if those light blues (cinnamon blue) came from a normal blue hen, then they are also females.

THANKYOU !! FOR THAT !! So You Mean to get that very pale blue IRN in the pic It's dad would be blue split to white or Blue split ino split cinnamon
cheers

Should be refered to as albino instead of white, just for ease of terms.

To get the cinnamon blue (pale blue) birds yes, he has to be split cinnamon.

So therefore, the dad seems to be Blue split ino AND split cinnamon.

They can be split for more than one mutation.

I got into the genetics of animals a long time ago before I left year 12 (was only 16

) when I hit 19ish I got myself an IRN as a pet due to it being a parrot species I have wanted ever since I saw an Australian movie about an italian family getting an inheritance in WA, and moving there and some old lady was living on their property.... well getting offtrack.. cant remember the name of the movie, but it showed the massive indian ringneck colonies living there wild.

Then I got into reading and breeding ringnecks as their mutations were incredible to me.

Since then I have bred and read as much about ringnecks as I could.

Here is a link of all the basic mutations to indian ringnecks.

You can combine them etc etc, some are rare as hens teeth in Australia

Like:
--Aqua (aka emerald) which is not Turquoise.
--Misty (some dubious sources of 'misty' birds around) some of the misty birds i have seen in australia have actually gone back to normal colours after good healthy diets.

Following mutations are not even in Australia to my knowledge and serious background checks need to made on people selling them:
--Clearflight
--Bronze Fallow
--Dilute
--Grizzle
--Rec. Pied (not the more common Dom. Pied)

Read up on that site, and check some example pairings etc of the mutations in the links that show you what you can get.

Hi Again !! i don't think that link is showing ? did you mean i could try breeding that bird with an aqua colour ??? Never heard of Misty wow !!!cheers

Ah whoops.

You can get Aqua, it behaves just like Turquoise with a few slight differences. However expect to spend approx $2k and up for good looking Aque blue birds.
