Hi everybody, I have 2 red-rumps by themsleves at present as both have recently lost their respective partners. The easiest thing for me at the moment 'space-wise' would be to put them together. They are (C) Cinnamon/ Lutino & (H) Blue Opaline.
Is it worth a go (what am I likely to get if paired) or should I perhaps swap them out or sell them ? I'm not in a position at present to buy additional birds.
Your comments appreciated
Cheers Viraba

if you pair them together you will get cinnamon/lutino x blue opaline
normal/cinnamon/blue/opaline cocks normal/cinnamon/blue/opaline/lutino cocks cinnamon/blue hens cinnamon lutino/blue hens
hope this helps

viraba, do you know for certain that the cock is cinnamon/lutino. i only ask because the chance's of this occuring is very small. the percentage's are ............lutino x cinnamon normal/lutino/cinnamon...lutino . ..........normal/lutino/cinnamon x lutino 48.5%normal/lutino/cinnamon,,,,,,,,cinnamon ...........lutino,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lutino 1.5%normal/lutino,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,normal ...........lutino/cinnamon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lutino cinnamon (lacewing) . i only ask because i don't like people to get there hopes up, and or i don't like people being taken for a ride when there're told that a certain bird is this or that. also i was wandering where did you get cock from, did you breed him or buy him.

Hi Fox, I actually bred the cock bird from a pair that was (C) Normal/lutino/cinnamon X (H) Cinnamon. I understand from previous posts that from that pairing I could have got : cocks = normal / cinnamon / poss lutinos , cinnamon / poss lutinos hens = normal , cinnamon , lutino and 1.5% chance of a cinnamon lutino which is a lacewing. I ended up with this cinnamon cock bird and 2 lutino hens. I haven't test bred the cock so he could just be a cinnamon only. I don't have an unrelated lutino hen to put with him and I'm not interested in breeding brother & sister. If he's not split to lutino then working from what parrotbreeder has said previously I would get normal/cinnamon/blue/opaline cocks and cinnamon/blue hens. Is that correct ?
I'm thinking I might try to sell or swap them out for others
Cheers, Viraba

hi viraba a good pair would be to try and swap the blue opaline hen for a lutino hen and you have a chance to breed lacewing hens and lutino/cinnamon cocks

if it is something thta you want to do then put the 2 birds together and let them do what they want. if the cock is split for lutino, then he can still produce lacewing hens. what most people don't realise is that breeding birds is a hobby. not everything that we do has to make money. i still have a normal male that is split to a few colours. the only value he has is personal. but i still can't get rid of him even though he is taking up space i will keep him till the end.

Let me assure you guys that keeping these birds is only a hobby. If I was looking for money from it I wouldn't have red-rumps I just love the birds for what they are and the characters they have. Problem is I never want to get rid of any of them at all and then I have space problems. If I were to put this cock bird with one of my lutino's, I'd end up with a possible pairing of an Opaline/ lutino (C) and the Blue Opaline (H). That may be an interesting combination I suppose, perhaps a slim chance of an Albino ? Cheers Viraba

with this new pairing that you have suggested wont be able to produce a albino. to breed one of them both parents have to either be blue or be split to blue.
