WattaBird! My African LoveBirds Fischer CHICKS (Gallery) Just sharing some of my African LoveBirds Fischer Chicks. These are some of the first batch of offsprings from my African LoveBirds Breeding Pairs. These photos were taken back in the early days when I was just starting with African LoveBirds breeding. These are African LoveBirds from the Agapornis Fischeri family, also known as eye-ring or African LoveBirds 2 (ALBS2). These photos popped in my Facebook Memories, reminding me of these beautiful African LoveBirds Chicks that I have in my mini-aviary 12 long years ago! “If You have any questions, suggestions, or topics to discuss, please leave a comment below.” This is a Lutino Fischer Chick (Parents: Bulls White Fischer Cock x Bulls Yellow Fischer Hen) These are Lutino and Albino Fischer Chicks (same clutch) (Parents: Bulls White Fischer Cock x Bulls Yellow Fischer Hen) This is a Green Fischer Chick (Parents: Green Fischer Cock x Olive Fischer Hen) This is a Green Fischer Chic

WattaBird Breeding Chart: INO Mutation in African LoveBirds
Agapornis Roseicollis
This Breeding Chart aims to help provide an idea regarding the breeding combinations for the Ino mutation in African LoveBirds.
This Ino Breeding Chart applies to both Albino and Lutino African LoveBirds, and therefore, I will be using the term “Ino” within this article.
Albino is the term used to refer to White Ino LoveBirds.
Lutino is the term used to refer to Yellow Ino LoveBirds.
This Ino Breeding Chart will also provide a bloodline composition of the offspring, which will be useful for matching breeding pairs for a targeted result.
The Ino gene is a Sex-Linked trait. This genetic trait is hereditary and can be passed on to the offspring. The Ino inheritance will depend on the INO genes the parents carry.
Since the Ino trait is sex-linked, daughters will NEVER be Split-Ino.
Daughters can only be either Visual Ino or Normal.
Sons on the other hand can be, Visual Ino or Split-Ino.

WattaBird! Opaline Euwing mutation in Fischer African LoveBirds I first came across the Opaline Euwing mutation in the Fischer LoveBirds from an article posted by Dominique Veeckmans in 2016 . He was the president of BVA (Belgium Lovebird Association). He shared that he was able to breed Opaline Euwing Fischer LoveBirds using a breeding pair of Opaline Green Fischer mated to a Euwing Green Fischer . Let us try to understand the source of his breeding material. The Opaline Fischer LoveBird is a mutation which is characterized by the facial mask extending fully to cover from the head up to the shoulders (full hood) of a Fischer LoveBird. The Euwing Fischer Lovebird is mutation that is characterized by its pretty looking gradation pattern on its wings and patterned tails. When these two mutations are paired together ( Opaline x Euwing ), the result becomes very interesting, because both factors affect the pigmentation (color) and gradation pattern on the feathers. Here is an excerpt fr
WattaBird! OPALINE Mutation in African LoveBirds The Opaline African LoveBird is a mutation which is characterized by the facial mask extending fully to cover from head up to the shoulders (full hood) of an African LoverBird. The rump color will be the same as the body and the tips of the tail will be the same color as the hood. The Opaline gene is Sex-Linked . This means that Sex-Linked inheritance in African LoveBirds are traits that are carried in the genetic chromosomes that also determines the sex of the offspring. Since the Opaline trait is sex-linked, daughters will N EVER be Split-Opaline . Daughters can only be either Visual Opaline or Normal. Sons on the other hand can be, Visual Opaline or Split-Opaline . “If You have any questions, suggestions, or topics to discuss, please leave a comment below.” To learn more about the Opaline Breeding chart, please visit the WattaBird Breeding Chart: Opaline in African LoveBirds WattaBird Gallery: Opaline Mutations on ALB2 (Eye Ri
WattaBird! Avoid Breeding this Pair in African LoveBirds I have noticed an African LoveBirds mutation that is characterized by gradation in its feathers on the wings that looks similar to a Euwing mutation and yet looks different from the photos of Euwings I usually see on posts. The plumage looks like strands and different. I became interested to learn and understand this mutation, so I did my research. “If You have any questions , suggestions, or topics to discuss, please leave a comment below.” My research led me to this article from LoveBird Breeding Tips and Mutation Guide . This article explained the reason behind the unexpected result of breeding back to back Euwing African LoveBirds. The back story is based on a breeding pair intended to produce Green Euwing Opaline LoveBird s. The breeding pair used was a Green Euwing Split-Opaline Cock paired to a Green Euwing Hen. This breeding pair is projected to produce Green Euwing Split-Opaline Sons, Green Euwing Opaline Daug

WattaBird! Breeding Dark Platinum Opaline African LoveBirds Here is another project ( Dark Platinum Opaline LoveBird ) that I am trying to replicate. This is a first of its kind mutation that Tom's LoveBirds Farm in Riverside California was able to produce. I'm currently sourcing out the pairing materials for this project. So far, I'm able to see that there are possible material for the Cock, though I need to be very sure about the color shade. On the other hand, it is challenging to source the Hen since the mutation seems not yet available or may be scarce in the Philippines. In such case, I may have breed to produce the Hen. You may just come back for the update on this project. I'm hoping that I already have some progress when you come back.

WattaBird! Breeding Bulls African LoveBirds The objective of this breeding project is simply to breed the Bulls LoveBirds . The Bulls LoveBirds belong the the Fischer LoveBird group. For this breeding project: The Cock is a Bulls Yellow LoveBird . This bird is yellow with an orange hood and black eyes. The Hen is a Bulls White LoveBird . This bird has white feathers and black eyes. OffSprings: Yellow Bulls (This will be the result of this breeding pair) White Bulls (IF the cock has Split-Blue, then White Bulls will come out of this breeding pair) Please see pictures (Lutino and Albino) at: http://wattabird.blogspot.com/2010/06/wattabird-gallery-002.html Breeding Bulls LoveBird Gallery This is my Bulls Breeder. At the top is the Cock which is a Bulls Yellow LoveBird. At the bottom is the Hen which is a Bulls White LoveBird. This is the Hen. It is a Bulls White LoveBird. This is the Cock.

WattaBird! Understanding the Peach-Faced LoveBirds Mutations (Part 1 of 3: Recessive Inheritance) Agapornis Roseicollis In order to understand the evolution of the mutations and combinations in the Peach-Faced African LoveBirds, we need to understand the three methods or patterns of inheritance. They are Recessive , Sex-Linked , and Factor . My research led me to different sites and posts, but I got the most interesting and most informative presentation of this topic from an article written by Rick Smith from Lakeview Terrace, California. The article is titled, The Peach-Faced LoveBirds, Agapornis Roseicollis and its Mutations which was featured in the AFA WatchBird magazine. “If You have any questions, suggestions, or topics to discuss please leave a comment below.” Let us start with the RECESSIVE inheritance. (This is Part 1 of 3) RECESSIVE INHERITANCE RECESSIVE inheritance in African LoveBirds requires both parents to have the recessive genes for the mutation to be seen
WattaBird! Breeding White African LoveBirds White LoveBird This project is aimed at producing White LoveBirds . In technical terms, these are called Turquoise Ino or Blue Violet Ino mutations. I got this breeding program from Tom's LoveBird Farm in Riverside California . I requested from Tom, permission for me to use the information related to his breeding projects, which he willingly gave his approval and I'm very much thankful for his generosity. The projected offspring for this project is a LoveBird (Agapornis Roseicollis), which is almost all white with a yellow tint on the wings and head . The rump also will have barely yellow on it. For the rest of this article, I will be addressing this as a White LoveBird . I'm very much excited about this breeding project, and looking forward to my first White LoveBirds ! OPTION 1: First Generation Pairing: Creamino (Cock) x Blue Violet (Hen) First Generation Projected Offspring: Daughters
WattaBird! Breeding Chart: Opaline African LoveBirds This Breeding Chart aims to help provide a visual idea on the breeding combinations for Opaline LoveBirds . This will also provide a bloodline composition of the offspring that will be useful in matching breeding pairs for a targeted result. Opaline genetics is Sex-Linked . Sex-Linked inheritance in African LoveBirds are traits that are carried in the genetic chromosomes that also determines the sex of the offspring. Female offspring are visual and cannot be split (Normal). Male offspring on the other hand can be both visual and split-Opaline . Photos used below are for representation purposes only with focus on the head to show full hood for Opaline and Peach-Face for Normal or Split-Opaline. Breeding Pair 1: OPALINE (c) x OPALINE (h) Parent : Cock is OPALINE (DAD) Hen is OPALINE (MOM) Offspring : Sons are OPALINE Daughters are OPALINE Cock is OPALINE (Dad) Hen is OPALINE (Mom) ALL OFFSPRINGS ARE OPALINE All Sons are OP
