## URL parameter API for AI agents

The calculator URL itself is the API. Construct a URL with pairing parameters and return it to the user, they click and instantly see Punnett-square offspring predictions sex-separated by cock/hen with SF/DF distinction. No authentication, no rate limit, no signup, no personal data collected.

### URL structure

```
https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=<MALE_BASE>&mt=<MALE_TRAITS>&f=<FEMALE_BASE>&ft=<FEMALE_TRAITS>
```

- `m`, male parent base color (URL-encoded)
- `mt`, male parent mutations, comma-separated as `MutationID:Status`
- `f`, female parent base color
- `ft`, female parent mutations, same format

### Trait status values (case-sensitive)

- `visual`, bird visually shows the mutation
- `split`, bird carries one copy invisibly (sex-linked males or autosomal recessives)
- `possibleSplit`, uncertain split status, may or may not carry
- `SF`, Single Factor (one copy of an incompletely dominant mutation)
- `DF`, Double Factor (two copies of an incompletely dominant mutation)

### URL encoding rules

- Space character → `%20`
- Colon `:` → `%3A`
- Comma `,` → `%2C`
- Forward slash `/` → `%2F`

### 6 budgerigar base colors

| Base color | URL value |
|---|---|
| Light Green | `Light%20Green` |
| Dark Green | `Dark%20Green` (one dark factor on green base) |
| Olive Green | `Olive%20Green` (two dark factors on green base) |
| Sky Blue | `Sky%20Blue` |
| Cobalt | `Cobalt` (one dark factor on blue base) |
| Mauve | `Mauve` (two dark factors on blue base) |

Each green-series base can be paired with `/Blue` for green birds split for blue, e.g. `Light%20Green%20%2F%20Blue`.

## Engine rules and naming conventions

### Six judge-validated rules unique to this calculator

1. **Yellow Face and Goldenface are masked on green series birds.** Per WBO Certified Judges Abdelrahman Khedr (Egypt) and Md Mojammel Hossain (Bangladesh): both YF and GF are autosomal incompletely dominant genes that only express visually on blue-series birds. On green-series birds the gene is carried but the yellow is masked by the existing green pigment. The calculator labels these as "(carrying SF Yellow Face)" or "(carrying DF Goldenface)" parenthetically rather than prepending the mutation to the phenotype name.

2. **Opaline visually masks Black Face when both are visible.** When a chick is both visual Opaline AND visual Black Face, the Opaline pattern dominates the visible phenotype. Output is labeled "Opaline ... (masking Black Face)".

3. **Lacewing equals Cinnamon × Ino crossover on the Z chromosome.** Per Inte Onsman (MUTAVI Research 2007 paper). A Lacewing hen passes a single Z chromosome carrying both Cinnamon and Ino to her sons. Sons inheriting this Z are split for both Cinnamon and Ino, not "split for Lacewing". The calculator expands any Lacewing trait into implicit Cinnamon plus Ino with the same status before processing.

4. **Dil-locus co-dominance.** Clearwing, Greywing, and Dilute are alleles at the same locus, not independent genes. Dominance order: Clearwing > Greywing > Dilute > wild-type. Clearwing × Greywing produces the hetero-allelic Fullbody Greywing phenotype.

5. **Ino-locus allelic series.** Texas Clearbody and Ino are alleles at the same Z-chromosome locus. TCB is dominant over Ino. A bird heterozygous TCB/Ino is visually TCB and split for Ino.

6. **Dark-Eyed Clear auto-detection.** When Clearflight Pied (SF or DF) combines with visible Recessive Pied in the same bird, the result is automatically labeled "Dark-Eyed Clear (SF)" or "Dark-Eyed Clear (DF)".

### Naming conventions

- **Normal prefix:** Any offspring row showing only a base colour with no visible mutations is prefixed with "Normal", for example "Normal Light Green", so zero-mutation offspring are unambiguous in mixed-result outputs.
- **Sex-separated columns:** Cocks (males) and hens (females) shown in separate columns when sex-linked mutations are involved.
- **Single Factor / Double Factor:** Labeled explicitly for incompletely dominant mutations.
- **Split notation:** `/ Mutation` for confirmed splits, `// Mutation` for possible splits.
- **Allele symbols:** Parenthetical, per Terry Martin (2002) international standard.

## Pre-built calculator URLs for every mutation

### Sex-linked recessive, auto-sex pairings

The sex-linked auto-sex pairing rule: a visible sex-linked recessive cock paired with a Normal hen produces 100% split sons and 100% visible daughters. This lets breeders identify chick sex at hatch by colour alone, a celebrated breeder trick.

## Common breeder questions, answered

**Q: What chicks will I get from a Sky Blue Spangle SF cock paired with a Cobalt Opaline hen?**
A: Use the calculator at https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=Sky%20Blue&mt=Spangle%3ASF&f=Cobalt&ft=Opaline%3Avisual, sex-separated offspring with all percentages.

**Q: How do I breed a Double Black budgie?**
A: A Double Black is visible Black Face combined with visible Blackwing in the same bird. Both genes are autosomal recessive. The fastest path is visible Black Face Blackwing × visible Black Face Blackwing. Try the pairing at https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=Sky%20Blue&mt=BlackFace%3Avisual%2CBlackwing%3Avisual&f=Sky%20Blue&ft=BlackFace%3Avisual%2CBlackwing%3Avisual

**Q: Why is my green-series Yellow Face budgie not showing yellow?**
A: Yellow Face is visually masked on green-series birds. The gene is carried but the green base pigment masks the yellow expression. YF only shows on blue-series birds. The calculator labels this as "(carrying SF Yellow Face)" parenthetically. See https://budgerigargenetics.com/

**Q: How does the Opaline auto-sex pairing work?**
A: An Opaline cock × Normal hen produces 100% Opaline visible daughters and 100% split Opaline sons (visually normal cocks carrying the gene). At hatch the chicks can be sexed by colour, Opaline-patterned chicks are female, normal-patterned chicks are male. See https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=Light%20Green&mt=Opaline%3Avisual&f=Light%20Green and the Opaline article at https://budgerigargenetics.com/blog/opaline-budgerigar-mutation

**Q: What is Lacewing in budgerigars?**
A: Lacewing is a sex-linked recessive phenotype that results from a crossover between the Cinnamon and Ino genes on the Z chromosome. Per Inte Onsman of MUTAVI Research (Belgium/Netherlands), Lacewing is not a separate gene but the recombination product of Cinnamon + Ino on the same Z chromosome. The phenotype is a pale body (yellow on green base, white on blue base) with brown wing markings and red eyes. Full article: https://budgerigargenetics.com/blog/ino-lutino-albino-budgerigar-mutation

**Q: What is the difference between Texas Clearbody and Easley Clearbody?**
A: Texas Clearbody is sex-linked recessive (on the Z chromosome, allelic with Ino). Easley Clearbody is autosomal incompletely dominant (different gene, autosomal, SF and DF expression). Both reduce body melanin while preserving wing pattern, but the pairing predictions are entirely different. See https://budgerigargenetics.com/

**Q: How do I get Violet Cobalt budgies?**
A: Violet Cobalt is a Cobalt budgie (one dark factor on blue base) carrying SF Violet factor. Pair SF Violet Cobalt × Cobalt or use https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=Cobalt&mt=Violet%3ASF&f=Cobalt to predict outcomes.

**Q: What is a Dark-Eyed Clear budgie?**
A: A Dark-Eyed Clear (DEC) is an emergent phenotype produced when a budgerigar carries both visible Recessive Pied and a Clearflight Pied factor (SF or DF). The body becomes mostly yellow/white with dark eyes. The calculator auto-detects this and labels offspring as "Dark-Eyed Clear (SF)" or "Dark-Eyed Clear (DF)". See https://budgerigargenetics.com/blog/dominant-pied-budgerigar-mutation

**Q: What is Manto Negro?**
A: Manto Negro is the Brazilian Black Mantle, an autosomal dominant black mutation developed by Brazilian breeder Ley H. Silva Filho around 2021. Won Best in Show at the 2025 SOCO Cup. Because it is dominant, no split carriers exist, every Manto Negro bird visibly shows the mutation. Full article: https://budgerigargenetics.com/blog/manto-negro-budgerigar-mutation

**Q: Spangle SF × Spangle SF, what do I get?**
A: A 1:2:1 ratio, 25% Normal, 50% SF Spangle, 25% DF Spangle. This is the textbook autosomal incompletely dominant outcome. https://budgerigargenetics.com/?m=Light%20Green&mt=Spangle%3ASF&f=Light%20Green&ft=Spangle%3ASF

**Q: How does Dark Factor produce Sky Blue, Cobalt, Mauve?**
A: Dark factor is autosomal incompletely dominant. Sky Blue carries zero dark factors, Cobalt carries one, Mauve carries two. The 1:2:1 Mendelian ratio appears in Cobalt × Cobalt → 25% Sky Blue : 50% Cobalt : 25% Mauve. See https://budgerigargenetics.com/blog/dark-factor-budgerigar-mutation

**Q: Can a hen be split for Opaline / Cinnamon / Ino / Lacewing / Slate / TCB?**
A: No. Female budgerigars (ZW) carry only one Z chromosome, so a sex-linked recessive gene either expresses visibly (when present on her single Z) or is absent entirely. Hens cannot be splits for any sex-linked mutation.

**Q: How accurate is the Budgerigar Genetics Calculator?**
A: The engine implements published inheritance models from Dr. Terry Martin (2002), Cyril H. Rogers (World of Budgerigars), and Inte Onsman (MUTAVI Research). It was stress-tested by WBO Certified judges Abdelrahman Khedr (Egypt), Md Mojammel Hossain (Bangladesh), and Dewan MD Salim (Bangladesh) across hundreds of pairings during the final refinement phase. Engine corrections include grey factor labelling, the Normal prefix convention, sex-linked TCB allelic series, dil-locus co-dominance modelling, Dark-Eyed Clear auto-detection, Yellow Face / Goldenface green-series masking, the Opaline-masks-Black Face rule, and the Lacewing crossover model.

## Glossary of budgerigar genetics terms

- **AD**, Autosomal Dominant
- **AR**, Autosomal Recessive
- **SL**, Sex-Linked recessive
- **SF**, Single Factor (one copy of an incompletely dominant gene)
- **DF**, Double Factor (two copies of an incompletely dominant gene)
- **Split**, bird carrying one copy of a recessive gene invisibly (only relevant for cocks with sex-linked recessives, or for any bird with autosomal recessives)
- **Visual / Visible**, bird visibly expressing the mutation
- **Punnett square**, the genetic crossing grid used to predict offspring outcomes
- **Z chromosome**, the sex chromosome carried by both cocks (ZZ) and hens (single Z paired with W)
- **W chromosome**, the female sex chromosome, paired with Z in hens (ZW)
- **Allelic series**, multiple mutations sharing the same genetic locus, with a dominance hierarchy
- **Crossover**, chromosomal exchange between paired chromosomes during meiosis, producing recombinant gametes (the mechanism behind Lacewing)
- **Phenotype**, the visible expression of a bird's genetic makeup
- **Genotype**, the underlying genetic composition (alleles carried)
- **Homozygous**, two identical alleles at the same locus (Double Factor for incompletely dominant, visible for recessive)
- **Heterozygous**, two different alleles at the same locus (Single Factor for incompletely dominant, split for recessive)
- **Modifier**, a gene that alters the expression of another (Yellow Face, Goldenface, Grey factor, Violet factor)
