Cora...I was only teasing...


Buttercream...there is another mystery. I think that perhaps buttercream and lion may be the same color. My wt glider, Everest came from a wt mom and a buttercream dad. Dad was probably the prettiest glider I've ever seen. His coloring was just incredible. All the gliders in her home were WHITE WHITE where they were supposed to be white except for Dad. There was no mistaking he was "buttercream". Then I got to see some true lions. And I have to say, I believe they are the same "color".

Here are comparison pics to look at.
I would hope they wouldn't be that stained

found a few cinnamon glider lineages

What about WFB champagnes? Has anyone heard of them?

I have heard of champagne. Aren't they a lighter shade than lion?

Not sure I am getting one, I have seen his pictures but I can't really tell.

If that is a color, it might look something like the one on the right, not sure.

That is him.

He's really pretty. I have never heard of wfb champagne before.

Yeah. I haven't either.

Does he have a champagne parent?

I'm not sure.

Maybe if you asked them for the lineage you could look through it?

The wfb I got came from a long line of plats/wfbs/leus.

I never even thought to ask about it. I will do that :DD

Hmmmm.....But is there evidence that a "cinnamon" has produced another? Wouldn't that be the easiest way to tell if they actually were their own color variation or just another grey variation?

Our 10 year old "standard" looks pretty cinnamon to me... her colors used to be just all washed out, no stripes, no black anywhere really until we got her on a good diet. She's been on a good diet for well over a year now, but kept her cinnamon tinge.

Maybe not their own color. I think cinnamon could just be gliders with different color variations in their lineage. Maybe just causing them to be tinted? So it could be for example standard then however much % of the color variation, instead of saying cinnamon.

For Example

Perhaps the cinnimons are a mix of the grey and the creams, both traits expressing themselves? Just a guess though, I'm not familiar with the genetics.

That's what I was thinking. I think people are referring to the color as a cinnamon color, but it's not an actual color in itself. Just like creamino and cinnamon offspring and it's just easier to call them cinnamon hued.

and standard*

To me he looks like a plain wfb...but i had a female that was a cinnamon color and two of her joeys have turned out to show the same coloring..i dnt really mark it on there linage...i consider it just a shade of gray...i do agree that alot of the time people will say there cinnamon to make profits ..i ve seen it alot on hoobly...

Do they have any other colors in the lineage? Or just pure greys? I agree, it's all I see when I look them up.
I have looked on Cinnies in the Glider Ads and it is almost empty. I am still not positive of if it is a true color or not.
Just something I have been curious of for quite a while.
And actually, a previous glider of mine, Holly, was supposed to be cinnamon.

Yeah they had wfb wf standards n cinnamon ...they were both lue het but never proved out...
