WattaBird! African LoveBirds Breeding Projects

Image
  African LoveBirds Breeding Projects  “If You have any questions, suggestions, or topics to discuss, please leave a comment below.” Consider these points for your African LoveBirds Breeding Projects 1. Know what mutation you want to breed. Do you want to produce Opaline LoveBirds? Euwing LoveBirds? New mutation? Or any others reasons you may have for breeding African LoveBirds. It is very important to know what mutation you want to breed because this will be your basis for getting your breeding pair. Knowing what mutation you want to breed will keep you guided and focused on the end-results of your African LoveBirds Breeding project. Else, without any end-result in mind for your African LoveBirds Breeding projects, you will end up with breeding whatever is available and will keep you distracted on whatever mutations come your way. I am not saying it is a bad thing, but what I am saying is from a personal preference and point of view. Having an end-result in mind requires me t...

WattaBird! Understanding the Peach-Faced LoveBirds Mutations

Image
  Understanding the Peach-Faced LoveBirds Mutations  Photo Credits: Feathers and Paws Agapornis Roseicollis I have seen a lot of questions being posted in social media groups coming from Newbie Breeders asking help to identify the mutation of their LoveBirds.  In most cases, a pair of LoveBirds is posted and requests for help on what can possibly be the offspring for this pair. Some photos show the tail and wings part. These questions are very tricky to answer by just merely looking at the photos and without knowing the background of the parents.  I became fascinated about this topic with the objective of sharing the information in an easy to understand manner to help newbies get acquainted with the Peach-Faced LoveBirds mutations. 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...

WattaBird Breeding Chart: INO Mutation in African LoveBirds

Image
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 LoveBird s, 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-I...
