What prompts this question is that, out of my four breeding age, in condition female budgies, one of my previous males, Comet, partnered up with a lutino hen (I have two), and now my other male, Periscope, has paired up with my other lutino. Prior to selecting their mates, both males had been exposed to my two differently coloured females, as well.
I'm wondering if this is just coincidence, or if their colours actually could play a large role in partner selection. Have you had any observations such as this?
One thing I can think may have driven their choice, is that my two lutino hens do seem to be more hormonal, and more apt to nest, than my two other females.
