software?

Hi does anyone know of an easy to use bit of software that will show genetics of ringnecks? Like if I put Blue with Green Blue I'll get Green Blue and Blue and stuff like that?
Thanks

Hi all

Hi all well about me I'm 36 male, married and have 2 kids. Have a heap of animals and birds. I breed finches, tiels, bourkes and ringnecks. I have a hand reared Blue ringneck inside and 3 other pairs so far outside that I breed.
I like birds, computers and searching the family tree.
