budgies

Question
We have a male white budgie and a female multicolored budgie.  Any thoughts on what color of babies they might have.

Answer
It's complicated. If the male is a true albino, he has two genes for albino. What colors the babies are really depends on the female's genes. If she has one albino gene, they can produce some albinos. If she has no albino genes they will probably just produce multicolored budgies.
