For exhibition as a Normal
Colour mutations are…..
Blue (normal) ‘European’ Yellow Faced Blue
(normal) Aust. Yellow Face Blue (normal) All are allelomorphs mutated
from the normal wildtype green Represent the 4 budgie colours
Variety mutations are…… Blackeyed self – Dilute included Redeyed self – Albino or Lutino Clearwing Greywing Cinnamon Opaline Fallow Etc etc
Where to exhibit? Green Blue Yellow Faced Blackeyed self Redeyed self Clearwing Greywing etc etc
Yellow Faced near the top of the exhibition ‘tree’ with the other two Colour mutations
Currently Yellow Faced are misplaced among the Variety mutations in most Countries
What this means……. Puts Yellow Faced into its rightful place
based on a solid genetic reason Green, Blue and Yellow Faced classes
would contain only normals Every Variety mutation can then be shown
in all three colours rather than just the two coloursGreen, Blue and Yellow Faced Blue colours
Puts an additional Colour mutation into each class below Yellow Faced, creating much more visual appeal, variety and interest in a declining hobby
An example or two…….
An Albino is variety mutation and Yellow Faced is a colour mutation thus should we not be exhibiting the variety first
A Fallow (Blue series) is a variety mutation and as explained above, Yellow Faced is a colour mutation thus I would conclude that we should be exhibiting the variety (Fallow) and if Yellow Faced then so be it.
