Will take some months. Birds still breeding and some start moulting. So at least 2-3 months to go before they are ready for a photo shooting.Ring0Neck wrote:Nicely done Madas!
Can you showcase the birds as well?

Have no opaline blue birds.Recio wrote: add Blue Opaline

well spotted.But it's only true for males as i noticed in my aviaries.
The opaline violet(sf) blue, opaline dark(df) green /blue and opaline dark(df) blue are females and well marked regarding all opaline patterns. Rest are males. Wing stripe seems stable from moult to moult.
Unfortunately this isn't true for my males. After their first big moult the wing pattern look very nice but then from moult to moult it was getting decreased in small steps.
However, I have the same presumption as you. It has to do with the structural mutations (except grey) which gets darker from moult to moult until adult moult. But why are only the males affected by this behavior?
Time will tell. Lets see how they look after next moult.
Regarding grey: what i have noticed is that most opaline which carry the grey gen look extra ordinary good. Why???
