Budgie Breeder

Lacewings

Lacewing Appearance

Lacewing is a mix of two mutations. Cinnamon and Ino (albino or lutino)

A lacewing budgie can either be all white (albino) or all yellow(lutino) Their wings have light brown markings from the cinnamon. Their eyes are always red and their feet are always pink. For the strongest wing pattern normal wings are the best but any other wing pattern can be considered lacewing such as recessive pied, dominant pied and spangle.

Some lacewings have a slight tinge of body color.

The above photo is a nicely marked lacewing. It was found on the internet. This isn't my image.

My Lacewing Breeding Program

1st Generation

Cock Horus: Lutino /Split for blue and opaline

Hen Ginger: Cinnamon, green /Split for blue

Plan: I will keep every normal green or blue male. Then breed him with any blue, grey violet normal female to produce lacewing females.

Result: From this pair I kept two males...

Pete Normal, green /Split for ino, cinnamon and blue male

Eddy Normal, green /Split for ino, cinnamon, blue and opaline male

2nd Generation

From Horus and Ginger Cock Eddy: Normal, green /Split for ino, cinnamon and blue

Hen Aura: Cinnamon, grey

Plan: I will keep every lacewing. Then breed her with any blue, grey or violet, normal or cinnamon male to produce males that are all 100% split for lacewing.

Result: F
