WattaBird! Unlocking the Palette: Breeding African Lovebirds for Mesmerizing Mutations! Breeding African Lovebirds to create new mutations can be an exciting and rewarding endeavor for aviculturists. Here are some potential breeding combinations to produce new African Lovebird mutations: Lutino x Lutino: Breeding two lutino African Lovebirds can result in offspring with a higher chance of being lutino, which is a beautiful all-yellow mutation. Lutino x Pied: Crossing a lutino with a pied Lovebird can produce visually striking pied lutinos with patches of yellow and other colors. Turquoise x Blue: Pairing a turquoise Lovebird with a blue one can produce visually appealing turquoise blues, which have a combination of turquoise and blue feathers. Violet x Blue: Breeding a violet Lovebird with a blue Lovebird can result in visually striking violet blues, combining the violet and blue colorations. Opaline x Normal: Crossing an opaline Lovebird with a normal one can produce opaline offspring...

WattaBird! Breeding RoseHood Opaline African Lovebirds

WattaBird! Breeding RoseHood Opaline African Lovebirds


The objective of this breeding project is to produce RoseHood Opaline Lovebirds.

For this breeding project, the Cock is a RedHood Green Opaline LoveBird while the Hen is a RoseMasked Green Edge LoveBird.

The RedHood of the Cock and the RoseMasked of the Hen are the characteristics that I'm trying to combine to produce RoseHood Opaline Lovebirds.

The Cock being an Opaline, while the Hen being Non-Opaline will result in the following projections.

Breeder: Cock: Opaline LoveBird x Hen: Non-Opaline LoveBird

Projected Offspring:

All Sons are split to Opaline LoveBirds
All Daughters are visual Opaline  LoveBirds

ACTUAL Offspring: Coming Soon! Breeder has started mating already.

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 OP...

WattaBird Breeding Chart: INO Mutation in African LoveBirds

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...

WattaBird! Avoid Breeding this Pairing in African LoveBirds

Image
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 E...

WattaBird! OPALINE Mutation in African LoveBirds

Image
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 M...

WattaBird! Opaline Euwing mutation in Fischer African LoveBirds

Image
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 excerp...

WattaBird! Breeding White African LoveBirds

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 !
