Hi All Im quite excited as my best pair finally have 3 babies after waiting a long time. Here I have another pair which also might breed very soon😃 Don’t have alot of knowledge about budgies yet. What colour/type can I expect from this pair? Female left and mail right. Wil gladly post update if required. Thanks in advance. Jaco

Without knowing what the colouring of the parents of these birds are/was, nothing can be guaranteed, and I am not good with budgie genetics. You have an opaline cock and dom pied hen, both look to be sky blue. Opaline is sex-linked (X chromosome) so your hen is not carrying any opaline gene, you male must have two opaline genes to visually show as opaline. Any opalines would be hens, is how I read that. Simple genetics say all birds will be sky blue, 50% dom pied, any opalines would be hens, and any others normal sky blue.
That's probably very wrong, but I've tried. All could change depending on what other mutations the pair may be split for.
