Clearwing Matings and Expectations

The clearwing factor is only dominant to ordinary

yellows or whites. The whitewing and yellow-wing can be
reproduced by mating with any variety or colour which
is split for white or yellow, but the proportion will
be small. Some of the non-clearwing birds bred from
this pairing will be split for clearwing and others for
white and yellow.

It should be realised when mating your birds that the

variety exists in two forms - purebreeding, carrying
two factors (2-F) for clearwing and the other carrying
one factor (1-F). It is unlikely that an individual is
(2-F) unless it has come from (2-F) parents.

To determine if the bird is pure breeding it should be

mated to a white or yellow. If only clearwings appear
it is definitely (2-F), but all the youngsters from the
pairing will be (1-F) and capable of reproducing white
and yellow.

Recommended Pairings
Yellow-wing Light Green X Yellow-wing Dark Green
............. Retains size and improves body colour of
Light Green
Yellow-wing Light Green/Blue X Whitewing Cobalt
................Improves size of Whitewings and retains
 depth of body colour
Yellow-wing Dark Green X Whitewing Skyblue
................... Improves body colour of Whitewings
Yellow-wing Olive Green X Whitewing
Skyblue............... Produces 100% Type I Clearwings
Whitewing Skyblue X Whitewing Cobalt
........................ Retains size and improves body
colour of Skyblue
Yellow-wing Light Green X Whitewing
Mauve................. Produces 100% Type II Clearwings

The Type I and II birds bred from the above pairings

will prove to be of immense value to you in reproducing
Whitewing Cobalts and Violets with outstanding size and
always providing the parents are of good quality, the
exhibition qualities will be exceptional. The following
suggested matings should bring about the desired
effect.

Yellow-wing Dark Green/Blue (Type I) X Whitewing Cobalt

Yellow-wing Dark Green/Blue (Type II) X Whitewing
Skyblue

An immediate improvement in size of the Whitewing

Cobalts bred will be seen from these two matings.

Yellow-wing Dark Green/Blue (Type I) X Whitewing Violet

Providing the parents have reasonable wing colouring,

some exceptional exhibition Whitewing Violets will be
bred.

As a general rule, pair Whitewings X Yellow-wing and

Light X Dark Factor. Not only will this enable you to
 breed both whitewing and yellow-wing, but also to
reproduce birds in all colour shades, i.e. Light, Dark
and Olive Green and Skyblue, Cobalt Mauve and Violet in
the Blue Series.
