One of your photos shows more than 2 birds in the aviary?
Is there any chance of these being fathered by another male?

Ian original parents of these birds (2 seasons ago) were yours, Don Crawfords and another breeder from here...they were all in together and I chose the best young for this season...so I have no idea from those pairings...so I will be getting rid of everything in the way of Gouldians and starting again.... or I may just forget Gouldians and Stars altogether...iaos wrote:Did they come from me?
As far as I know my stock and my source stocks are still mutant free.
Very frustrating for you!

It may be the lighting, but Dads feet look white, this is a clasic sign that budgie breeders use to find recessive pied genes. So if it is not the pic and Dad is white footed

Unfortunately, if your aim is a colony of mutation free birds, this is the only option.they were all in together and I chose the best young for this season...so I have no idea from those pairings...so I will be getting rid of everything
It is the curse of recessive genes, they can remain hidden for generations.
So very frustrating

Wow... Exciting.
Can you post a clear picture of the young birds face clearly displaying its nodules, this will help a lot.

All AY's I've bred have never shown pied markings but Craig is correct And this strain does exist.Craig52 wrote:I agree with Tiaris, recessive dilutes. If they were AY they would look pied in the nest imo. Craig
One thing I've learnt is the nodules very rarely lie explaining certain mutations and a good head shot of this bird could definitely eliminate possible suggestions.
