Rules: INO+Pd on different Z = INO/Pallid (co-dominant). Pd visual can split to INO. CIN/OP can split to other sex-linked genes.
กฎ: INO และ Pallid อยู่ locus เดียวกัน (alleles) — Z1 มี INO + Z2 มี Pd = INO/Pallid (co-dominant). Visual Pallid แยกเป็น INO ได้. Visual Cinnamon/Opaline แยกเป็นยีน sex-linked อื่นๆ ได้ (cross-split).

Female rules: Single Z = visual if mutant allele present. INO+Pd on same Z = INO/Pallid.
กฎ (ตัวเมีย): ตัวเมียมี Z เพียงแท่งเดียว — มิวเตชันเดียวก็แสดง phenotype. INO+Pd บน Z แท่งเดียว = INO/Pallid (inopd).

Quaker Parrot Color Calculator — Monk Parakeet Genetics

This free Quaker Parrot color calculator (also known as Monk Parakeet or Monk Paracheet) helps breeders predict the exact colors and genetic splits produced from any two parent parrots. Simply select the genetics for your sire (male) and dam (female), then click Calculate to see all possible offspring phenotypes with probabilities.

Quaker Parrots (Myiopsitta monachus) carry a wide range of color mutations including Turquoise, Blue, INo, Pallid, INO/Pallid, Opaline, Cinnamon, NSL INO, Fallow, DEC, Dark, and Grey. The sex-linked genes (Cinnamon, INO/Pallid, Opaline) follow ZW sex determination — males are ZZ and females are ZW — and can recombine on the Z chromosome.

This calculator uses a full 4-locus sex-linked model matching gencalc.com, with accurate recombination rates: Cinnamon–INO at 3%, INO–Opaline at 30%, and Cinnamon–Opaline at 7%. It supports all co-dominant and split combinations, making it ideal for both hobbyist breeders and professional Quaker Parakeet color breeding programs.
