Re: Breeding colors
At a guess without seeing photos the female is a blue pallid, which means if you breed her with straight colours then thats all you will get.
You need to pair her to another blue pallid to get birds ike her or the male needs to at least be carying the pallid gene, thats called split too.

If so this is the results.
1.0 green /ino
x 0.1 blue pallid
% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 pallidIno /blue
50.0% 1.0 green /blue pallid
% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 ino /blue
50.0% 0.1 green /blue
Thanks Glenn
