WattaBird! Unlocking the Palette: Breeding African Lovebirds for Mesmerizing Mutations!

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 Dark Platinum Opaline African LoveBirds

Image
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 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 ! OPTION 1:  First  Generation  Pairing: Creami...

Both parents have White-Face lineage, and the Cock is split to Opaline. These are the common denominators used so we can produce a  WhiteHood Opaline LoveBird . The Cock being split Opaline, while the Hen being Non-Opaline will result in the following projections.
