These birbs are really pretty! The first one is yellowface opaline clearwing I guess? They are basically rainbow but I think you need a single factor yellowface type 1 for that

Yeah it is opaline. And a female as dad carries the opaline gene, given to him by his mum, but that isnt expressed in his phenotype. And I think you mean "and female if MUM isnt opaline" as its a sex linked mutation and females can get it only from their fathers. Males need both mum and dad to express the gene
