AKQ Birds
Free genetics tools, mutation reference, and breeder education for Asiatic Parakeets.
Free genetics tools, mutation reference, and breeder education for Asiatic Parakeets. Plan pairings, explore inheritance, and develop stronger breeding programs.
AKQ Birds gives serious breeders, keepers, and learners open access to a working AKQ Genetics Calculator, a structured Mutation Reference, and breeder education, with the AKQ Alexandrine Guide coming soon as a book — built around bloodlines, mutation accuracy, and guided pair development.
A genetics-first Alexandrine breeding program built from years of practical animal breeding, field learning, and responsible line development.
Open access. Built for serious Alexandrine breeders and learners.
AKQ Birds publishes its working genetics tools, mutation reference, and complete Alexandrine guide free of charge — so breeders, keepers, and aviculture students can plan pairings, study inheritance, and develop their understanding before any enquiry is ever placed.
AKQ Genetics Calculator
Plan parent pairings and see expected chick outcomes by mutation, locus, and sex. Built around Psittacula inheritance logic — autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and heterosomal recessive.
Open the Calculator ReferenceMutation Reference
Structured cards for each Alexandrine mutation: visual identification, genetic class, dominant or recessive inheritance, sex linkage, visual expression, and breeder notes.

Health, Quarantine & Verification Discipline
New birds and returning birds are managed through controlled observation before entering the main breeding program. AKQ maintains internal records for quarantine, health checks, pairing history, fertility, chick outcomes, and line verification. High-value lines are assessed through breeding results, visual consistency, and documented parentage before being used as foundation stock.
Quarantine before integration
Incoming and returning birds are observed and managed separately before they are introduced to the main breeding program.
Health & condition checks
Routine condition checks support fertility, breeding readiness, and the early detection of any concern across the flock.
Pairing & fertility records
Each pairing is tracked with clutch, fertility, hatch, and fledge notes maintained internally for season-to-season review.
Parentage & line verification
High-value lines are assessed through breeding results, visual consistency, and documented parentage before foundation use.
Program-retention review
Each bird is reviewed against current breeding direction and program value before any external placement is confirmed.
Specific medical, veterinary, and quarantine procedures are maintained as internal practice and are not published publicly. The discipline above describes the program’s approach, not its protocols.
Nutrition & Incubation
AKQ uses structured seasonal feeding, breeder conditioning, molt support, and chick-development nutrition based on species condition and breeding stage.
Incubation and hatching are managed through controlled temperature, humidity, fertility checks, egg monitoring, and careful intervention rules.
Full feeding charts, schedules, incubation curves, and intervention rules are maintained internally.
Bloodlines & Featured Pairs
A public-safe view of the AKQ Alexandrine program — selected bloodline examples and featured pairings. Ring numbers, full parentage, and strategic future combinations are kept private.
AKQ Bloodline Development
20 documented birds across Blue, Cobalt, Ino/Albino, Aqua/Cremino, Lutino/Blue, Grey, Spangle, and Slaty lines. Foundation Stock Philosophy and Foundation Behind the Mutations included.

Suitable Bird / Line Discussed Privately
If a fit exists, AKQ follows up privately with bird details, line context, and next steps for a serious enquiry.
AKQ does not place birds on visual appeal alone. Each enquiry is reviewed against the breeder’s goals, current setup, target mutation direction, and the long-term value of the bird.
What Breeders Say
Enquiries reviewed, birds placed with purpose. Feedback from breeders who have engaged with the AKQ program.
“The AKQ calculator and mutation reference are the most accurate tools I have used for Alexandrine pair planning. The split-carrier logic is built correctly and the results match real breeding outcomes.”
“I reviewed the Alexandrine Guide before placing any enquiry. It covers sexing, genetics, housing, and history in more detail than anything else I have found in English. Worth reading from the beginning.”
“We came in wanting to start with Alexandrines and had no clear direction. AKQ guided us from the beginning — we received multiple Green/Ino cocks and every single one produced Lutino hens in the first season. That result doesn’t happen by accident. It confirmed the genetics are exactly what AKQ represents them to be.”
Testimonials are attributed by region and program type to protect breeder privacy. AKQ does not publish ring numbers, pair records, or personal details without explicit permission.

Glossary
- Allele
- A specific version of a gene at a given locus.
- Locus
- The chromosomal address of a gene. Each locus has two alleles in autosomes, but only one on Z in hens.
- Autosomal recessive (AR)
- Both copies of the gene must be the mutation allele for the bird to show the phenotype. Splits look normal.
- Autosomal dominant (AD)
- One copy is enough to show the phenotype. With incomplete dominance, SF and DF look different.
- Sex-linked / heterosomal recessive (SLR)
- Locus on the Z chromosome. Cocks (ZZ) need two mutation alleles; hens (ZW) need only one. Hens cannot be carriers.
- SF / DF
- Single Factor (heterozygous) and Double Factor (homozygous) — used for incomplete-dominance loci such as Dark factor, Violet, Edged.
- Combo phenotype
- The visual result of two or more mutation loci stacking. Not a separate gene — inherits via the underlying loci.
- Split (/)
- Heterozygous carrier of a recessive allele; visually normal but transmits the allele to ~50% of offspring.
