I Wildtype Bourke's Parrot Info Wild-type. To breed the Bourke's Parrot we should know the specific charac-teristics of this bird-species. The Bourke is not a Neophema species but is a separate species, this is proven in practice and research. The plumage and the possession of feather structure and pigment is important to the mutation breeder To understand the mutations information is needed about the production of pigments en feather structure. The production process is influenced by genetic factors. Also colour altering is caused by genetic factors. Information and ideas about caring and breeding results are given in checklists. Starting points of the website The Wild-type is the startingpoint of breeding mutations. use of clear terminology common names and scientific names new method of namegiving classification of varieties and mutation factors classification model practical means The Bourke as a separate bird-species info wildtype Bourke's habitat and distibution Richard Bourke The plumage of the Bourke description of the plumage feather structure and pigmentation form and function eumelanin production process mutations nest-droppings Checklists quality management quality management acquire new birds weeds and seeds prevention caring diseases IV Communication literature V Links links VI Analysis of colour of feathers and varieties analysis of colour 1 analysis of colour 2		II Info mutations These info give a survey of the most imoortant colour varieties of the Bourke's Parrot. They have a numbre .

In most surveys the accent lays upon percentages to the possible outcomes of a combination. But there are other ways t find out which combination shall give the best results.

In the first phase of development unexpected things can happen. It is very usefull to describe the first periods in bird magazins case study blue case study edged Background knowledge of genetics Basic knowledge of genetic is needed for the mutation breeder. The pages that are dedicated to the basic facts are kept down. It is worh a try to study this pages. I tried to describe the subjects in a readeble way . I tried to direct the theme's to the practice of mutation breeding like comparing of varieties DNA relationships between genes proteïne practice -theory comparing rubino with red opaline-pastel comparing rubino with red edged-opaline yellow-red-psittacine Mixed subjects Identification of new varieties dark and violet f. anonymo Variance in varieties variance in the Edged Name giving of colour varieties and mutation factors A survey of mutation factors and varieties is very useful. I use the common names in the mother language to the varieties. I use to the mutation factors names referred to research. Sometimes the development of a name is very interesting. I discribed a case of namegiving. account for namegiving Classification classification problems Steiners classification system namegiving classification classification M factors classification P-S factors
