Have I got my wires crossed? Thought silver was from blue and EY crossing?

You did say green to green FB.

This topic has gone way off topic if you want to continue on genetics for budgies and gouldians please start a new topic. Craig

What Gouldians and Budgies have in common is that any visually green pair that produces silver or white young (the equivalent types) are split blue. And two green budgies with a white toe each are in fact pied not pure green. Congratulations on enjoying the vagaries of genetics.

Definately not FB,silver gouldians can only produced if Euro yellow backs are used, you cannot get a split for EY in a green backed gouldian.

By the way Werty,i'm still waiting for pics of your silver young and their parents. Craig

Not a problem

Can you change this site so i can post the pics I have taken with my samsung

Partially right.
Silvers don't come from blue birds because blue birds are actually green genetically.
You need the to have a yellow bird that display's the blue gene.

In way calling it the blue gene is wrong, would we be calling it the silver gene if it first appeared on a yellow bird? ... Lol

Hope this helps

Email the pictures to yourself. Once on your pc open the pics in paint, resize appropriately, save, and post. Easy. size 640 x 427 jpg

So it impossible for 2 green gouldians to produce a blue gouldian?

That is what I though. However I have produced blues and yellows

[Tiaris]

No, 2 green birds (split to blue) will produce blues.
