Thank you, BB! I knew about the eyes, but these were babies, so they all had black eyes. Except for the lutinos I saw in the other shop this morning. That's awesome, Phoebe! Keep it up! Maybe, if you have a pet shop with budgies close by, make some notes and try to identify the different mutations. If you don't know some of them, note down their appearances as detailed as you can and we can help guess too  You're welcome Ira  Good advice for Phoebe |

I'm not normally good at advice, but I want to do my best to help. Oh, BudgiesBuddy that gives me an idea. Why don't we have a genetics quiz? So, for instance, if you put up a picture of a budgie, then we get to try and guess the mutation, and then you can tell us what the actual answer is? Do you think that might help too, phoebe? |

That's an awesome idea Ira! |

I'm just getting going on this thread and 5 pages is definitely WAY too much for my little brain. I have just about got to grips with first half of p.1. Very, very interesting stuff, and extremely lucidly expressed, so thank you, Ira and BB.

Awesome phoebe, now just to see if BB is agreeable I think we should all try to guess independently, but not be competitive about it. High school put me through so many inter-form competitions that I don't enjoy competing for things anymore. I prefer just helping each other and working together, but as we're all learning I think it's better if we try independently so that we can see how we're progressing. In which case, it would be good if BB could also (when he tells us the answer) point out the different features which are shown in the picture which define the mutation. That way we'll have notes for future reference and should hopefully stand a better chance of guessing the same mutation the next time it pops up. @birdgurl Most of the last few pages is discussion, birdgurl, although there might be info in there somewhere? I should probably look to see if there's anything that needs to be added to my notebook. BB certainly deserves thanks for taking the time to explain things to us Originally I just wanted to learn this stuff, but I'm glad he said it should be done on a thread because now I really want to help phoebe to learn too |

I understand you perfectly, I don't think I should compete with anything faster than a snail anyways. |

Well, I know that I don't exactly have much patience in competitions if someone is better than me  Plus I think it's better if we help each other once we know the answer. So if someone guessed right they can explain what it was that led them to that conclusion. So we'll have to do our best to ignore each other's posts until we've decided what we think the mutation is by ourselves. Otherwise if we just copy then we're not being true to ourselves. But we'll have to decide if we want to specify things like '1 dark factor' or just say 'dark green' etc. |

Very, very interesting stuff, and extremely lucidly expressed, so thank you, Ira and BB. You're welcome That's why I am taking it slowly. There is no point going forward until we fully comprehend the basics. |

Mutation practice is a good idea. It will be better to practice on pictures rather than just reading the thread. But I think that the pictures should come from the members, and also only for the mutations which we have covered so far. Otherwise, we should wait a little longer until a few more mutations are covered |

I need a better, clearer shot of her green, phoebe. To me, from the looks of these, I would call her a light, or normal green recessive pied. Is her green the same as the green of your normal green behind her in the first photo? |

Is her green the same as the green of your normal green behind her in the first photo? I'll see if I have a clearer shot of that. It's hard to say with the green being in the yellow like that. |

 I'm searched my photobucket I will search my computer if I have a video of a few seconds it might help. That patch is small but on her back it seems a bit dark and it's the same as on her belly. I looked at Emerald and then her and she (the green) is darker.  The green in the front is mixed with the yellow but you can see on her back and close to her rump it gets darker.  |
