WELCOME TO MY BIRD FARM. HOME OF THE OPALINE PEACHFACE MUTATION

The opaline peachface lovebirds have been out for many years, yet, lots of breeders are still very confused about them. A lot of the breeders who breed lovebirds do not know that the opaline peachface exist. Then for some breeders who knows about the opaline peachface lovebird, they have no idea about the seagreen opaline and other colors. Mainly because man lovebird breeders are older generations and they do not know how to use the computers and the internet to do research. I think every knows someone like that.

Breeding seagreen is like any other colors. Seagreen opaline color is a dominate color. When we put a seagreen opaline with a seagreen opaline, we will always get seagreen opaline. And that seagreen opaline opaline can be males or females. Any colors that you get besides seagreen opaline, it means that the male and/or female are recessive to other colors.

Since seagreen opaline is a dominate color, if it's a boy, the pair will always seagreen opaline opaline only. Any other colors beside the seagreen opaline means that the boy and/or girl are recessive to other colors.

Now that you have some information on breeding the blue series, you need to practice them on your own birds. The more you put and pair them together, you will understand more about their genetics. Hopefully, this will be of help. Please read more on the multiple genetics to get better idea on producing them better.

The interesting part is breeding violet opaline to violet opaline. The opaline is a sex-linked gene, however, the blue violet is a co-dominate colors and sometimes will be consider a dark blue cinnamon color as well. Because this gene is a co-dominate gene, the pair can produce a variety of colors.

Since most of the blue violet opalines are double factor violet opaline, producing them again is not too easy. What does it mean by double factor? It means the the blue violet carries two distinct color mutation in their gene. One gene they carry is a gene for dark color babies. The other gene they carry is for the blue color.

If you understand math a little bit, it means that there are 4 genes in the 2 birds. Therefore, there are only 1 of 4 babies will look simliar to the parents. The other colors can be any colors depending on which colors the babies decide to pick up.

We can count how blue colors there in the blue opaline lovebirds, that's how they can produce. Also, if we can count how dark colors in the blue opaline lovebirds, that's how they can produce on the dark colors.

By producing the double factor blue violet opaline babies does not mean that it will look like the parents, it just means that the babies carry the blue factor and the dark factor in their genes. The babies can be darker or lighter colors than the parents.

There technically about 12 to 16 different types of double factor blue violet opaline. If not, there might actually be more. These are just the colors I have produced and of course like I mentioned, maybe more.

Complicated right? Of course, and that's why I like breeding for the violet opaline.
