Hi everyone
I've come here to find more out about my breeding conures. So I have a female turquoise gcc that has breed with a gcc they've had 4 babies 3 that look like normal gcc and 1 cinommen. What can I learn about my breeding pair of which I have no history on?
Thx

Welcome to the forum! I'm not sure what you mean by learning about them. Are you going to breed them?

I am with Roz on this..what specifically would you like to know?

Breeding is such a complicated thing. I would recommend, for now, just learning and sharing all you can about the birds you have now... their care, feeding, housing, socializing. And we'd love to help you!

I am glad you are open-minded and reaching out. I'm glad you found us.

Wow this is so far from what I needed. 2 posters immediately assume that I don't know how to care for my birds fyi I don't tend to breed my birds as it is so difficult (I'm fully aware of this thanks posters that assume the worst). However these parents are the best I've ever seen raising 4 babies without any human interference. Now back to my question a 2nd time
What information can be learnt about the breeding parents eg.what type of conures were the breeding pair parent etc.
I'm not going to be a heavy poster I don't like chatrooms I want a place I can get question answered efficiently , is this the chatroom for this or should I look elsewhere.

Hi, we mostly do pet stuff, not breeders Genetics. You can Google the color mutations of GCC, there are charts out there.
We have so many new to parrrots people, we like to cover the basics.

Hi Icepick..

PLEASE be reassured that we are NOT here to criticize your intentions!!
That is something I don't like about a typed word or statement,be it on a forum or a text on a smart device. It can be extremely difficult at times to figure out the original poster/text person on that person's meaning..as you can't read or feel the emotion or inflexion since there isn't a spoken word.
This fine forum,and all it's member's,aren't here to give ANYONE a difficult time! We are here to try and help in whatever way we can. The birds are our top priority. I apologize sincerely to you if we appeared as if we came off as being gruff

Understanding a type a chat is much more difficult than hearing the same words by ear or seeing the person say them. I have recently been guilty of taking some of this groups messages out of context. If english isn't your native tongue please keep this in mind.
These people are indeed here about the birds.
As for your question, you will have to keep a written log of your pairs off spring and REMEMBER, the pairs parents suffered the same "randomness" as your parents will you . BUT in doing the written log you CAN surmise. OR you could probably do a genetic test on each of "your" parents and find out. jh

I don't really understand - All GCC's - normals, tourquise and others are one species. We can't say in 100% what mutation were their parents. Basing on children we only can say:

• male is spilt to cinnamon [one of parents probably was cinnamon (or combination) but this also could be his dad spilt to cinnamon]
• male isn't spilt to turqoise - none of his parents was turqoise (and any combination of it)
