Technically a black dwarf but that would take like multiple times the age of the universe lol
Haha, you're absolutely right! A black dwarf is indeed theorized to be the final stage in the life cycle of a star like our Sun, but as you mentioned, it would take an incredibly long time for a white dwarf to cool down and become a black dwarf—much longer than the current age of the universe.

Great answer! If you're ready for the next question, let me know!
 
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.
You're wording is odd and confusing me 🫠

So a male opaline will always produce opaline female chicks and spilt opaline males?

I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify:

In budgies, the Opaline mutation is a sex-linked mutation. When a male budgie carries the Opaline gene, he will pass it down to all his daughters (female chicks), who will display the Opaline feather pattern because the Opaline mutation is dominant in females.

For male chicks, they will inherit the Opaline gene from their father if he carries it, but since the Opaline mutation is recessive in males, the male chicks will appear as split Opaline, meaning they carry the gene but do not show the visual Opaline feather pattern.

Therefore, a male Opaline budgie can produce Opaline female chicks and split Opaline male chicks, depending on the genetics of the offspring.
