Introduction The dilution gene in budgies is one of the most fascinating and versatile genes. Unlike many mutations that only affect a single trait, the dilution gene can create four completely different visible mutations: Dilute, Greywing, Clearwing, and Full-Body Greywing. Understanding these mutations is essential for breeders, hobbyists, and anyone interested in budgie genetics. In…
Overview The Opaline mutation is a sex-linked recessive trait in budgies that changes the normal wing and head patterns. It reduces the amount of melanin pigment on the wings, making the bird appear brighter and more colorful compared to a standard budgie. This is one of the most recognizable mutations and is popular among breeders…
Overview The ino gene is a sex-linked recessive mutation in budgerigars that removes nearly all melanin pigment from the bird’s feathers, eyes, skin, and feet. As a results, this leads to two distinctive visual outcomes: Lutino – A bright yellow budgerigar with red or pink eyes (green-series base). Albino – A pure white budgerigar with…
