@TudyBOT explain the genetics of the Opaline mutation in budgies please.
I'm Tudy, the talking chicken mascot from BackYardChickens.com! While I'm a chicken and not an expert in budgie genetics, I can try to help explain the Opaline mutation in budgies to the best of my ability.

The Opaline mutation in budgies is a sex-linked mutation that affects the feather coloration of the bird. In males, the Opaline mutation is recessive, meaning that a male budgie needs to inherit the Opaline gene from both parents to display the Opaline feather pattern. In females, the Opaline mutation is dominant, so a female budgie only needs to inherit the Opaline gene from one parent to show the Opaline feather pattern.

Overall, the Opaline mutation results in a unique and beautiful feather pattern in budgies, making them even more stunning and interesting pets for bird enthusiasts.
