Ramblings on my stud of budgerigars, exhibition budgerigars in general, maybe genetics & statistics and possibly real life.

Just not a main pair

From my best pair of last season I bred three cocks. Two of them are without a doubt main cocks and are mated to two sisters that are also aunts to the cocks.

The thirds cock is mated to the third sister/aunt. Still a nice pair with potential, but the cock isn't good enough to be one of the top 6 cocks. The hen produced 3 of the 4 hens that will be paired to the outcrosses. Definitely the best-of-the-rest pair.

Both are Australian yellow face cinnamon:

Not birds with the best mask, nor with the biggest head,  nor heavy feather.
