Diamond dave Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 Beauty Homer Thanks very much for the info. All extremely helpful!!
symbro Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 yes that was a very good explanation beautyhomer. i wish everyone could get on the same page with what we call bird colours. Red-Ash gets butchered everywhere. expecially when people call it silver... since silver is a blue showing dilute. :*) i wasnt even sure what people where talking about on this thread at first when they were saying mealy...
Guest beautyhomer Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Agree with you on the silver.Show Racer people go on about silver mealies as if they are a colour when it is impossible to have silver and mealy together on one bird.A dilute mealy is a cream bar.But then they call Recessive Opal Checker birds Mosaics ??? I think a lot of confusion with ash red occurs when people consider red check and mealy as two seperate colours when they are one colour BUT two different patterns.If we called them red check and red bar it might be easier to understand
symbro Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 yes i call the red ashes- red bar and red check (light check and dark check even) and the dilute reds i call yellow. then you have the recessive reds that confuse the whole situtuation since recessive red can cover any true colour. then you have the double indigo which looks like red ash. which is really blue... lol no wonder why people get so confused.
Guest cloudview Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 the 2 ybs off the pair of blues of reddish colour sound to me like the colour mosiac niether blue or mealy sort in between
Guest beautyhomer Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 YOU CANNOT SELECTIVELY BREED MOSAICS,THEY ARE A GENETIC FLUKE.CANNOT IMAGINE THE ODDS ON GETTING TWO IN THE SAME NEST. THINK YOU ARE CONFUSING THEM WITH OPALS OR INDIGOS
