About the Game

This is a short experience for those interested in budgie genetics. Breed budgies to discover new colours. Patterns of inheritance are based on real-world genetics (recessive, dominant, co-dominant, etc).

Features:

  • Discover over 20 realistic colour mutations.

  • Unlock in-game achievements for breeding certain combinations.

  • Watch your birds grow from egg to fledglings.

  • Beware of the effects of inbreeding, which can reduce the number of eggs.

  • Budgies can only breed a few times, so plan your pairings carefully.
