TOM'S LOVEBIRD FARM HOME OF THE OPALINE LOVEBIRDS   WELCOME TO MY BIRD FARM. HOME OF
THE OPALINE PEACHFACE MUTATION
    This page is to address a lot of people wanting to know about the colors of the peachface lovebirds as well as the opaline lovebirds. It will address the possibilities of colors with selective pairing. Also hopefully I will put together the type of pair you can put together to produce each one. Some of course will take a little longer to produce depending on what you have already. This page can be very easy to understand or it can be very difficult for some. It really depends on your experience with lovebirds and the understanding of breeding lovebirds. And of course, a lot of these names are not approve by any lovebird organizations in the United States or in Europe. Therefore, all of these names are not the standard names. If you want to learn the standard names please click on this link belonging to the African lovebird society color mutation and naming. COLOR MUTATION AND GENETICS
Here
are some the babies taken in groups. I no longer have these babies
available. You can see some of the comparison in colors. However,
I do not know how most of them will molt into because I do not have
them in my possession. Most of us will be surprise on how they will
molt into.
White
Headed Double Factor Violet Opaline. There are so many variations
of them that I do not have them all. These will give you some ideas
of what they can be. All of these practically have the same genetic
makeup when producing the double factor violet opaline agian. These
ones are all $150 each.
This
section is to address the cinnamon violet Opaline. Genetically, they
are the same for breeding purposes. These birds should all be sex-link
factors.
These
are the seagreeen opaline and the dark factor opaline. Genetically,
these birds do not have the same genetic when it comes breeding.
Some like the seagreen opaline are dominate and the cinnamon are
sex-linked and the others are co-dominate.
This
section is to address the white face blues. Some of these birds are
very different when it comes to breeding. For example, the dutch blues
are normally dominate. The light blue violets and others are normally
co-dominate. However, if the dutch blue is split to violet, it's also
a co-dominate gene. However, the way you pair them up will decide
what kind of babies you will get. Therefore, before you put the pairs
together, you need to ask yourself on what type of colors you want
to produce from the parents. Once you find that out, you can pair
them up accordingly.
This
section is to address the violet pieds. For violet pieds, genetically
they are about the same when it comes to breeding. The difference
is how you will pair them up. They way you pair them will decide what
kinds of offspring you will get. All the violet pieds are $75 each.
This
section is for the dominate blue pieds. Regardless whether this is
An american series or Australian series, it doesn't matter much. Also
regardless of whether you have a light pied or heavy pied, they will
always produce pieds and the varieties of pied. Depending on the amount
of pied, the color will change automatically. To get more dominate
blue pieds, all you need is one pied and you will produce 50% of them
each time. All of the dominate blue pieds are $30 each.
This
section is for the white face cinnamon. For the white face, they generally
have all the same genetics when it comes to breeding purpose. Because
this genetic is sex-linked, they all all the same.
This
section is to address the red headed opalines. Most of them are dominate
colors besides the cinnamon which is sex-linked. Some of the darker
colors are co-dominate. Of course, all the pieds from them are also
dominate.
This
section is to address the normal peachface and the mutation. The greens
are dominate, but the green cinnamon are sex-linked. The pieds are
also dominate. Some of the darker colors are co-dominate.
This section is to address the orange headed opaline.
All of the greens are also dominate. The pieds are dominate. The cinnamon
are sex-linked and the darker colors are normally co-dominate.
This section is to address the regular orange face
lovebirds. Just like the peachface, the green is dominate, the pied
is dominate. The cinnamon is sex-linked. The darker colors are normally
co-dominate.
This section is to address the "red eyed"
birds aka "ino". All inos are sex-linked genes except for
red eye fallow. A normal color birds with red eyes. That gene is recessive.
The creaminos comes in many different kinds of colors. Depending on
what colors they have on the rump, the colors of the birds will change
a little bit. For breeding purposes, it doesn't matter at all.
