Well this is Ava over and out! Happy breeding everyone!!!

In October of 2018, Amaretto released the all new Barnyard Ducks! Sooo much cuteness, with little quackers running everywhere. Many breeders created ponds on their land because guess what? Your Amaretto ducks can swim! If you have access to Linden water, you can turn on movement and animations, set them down in it and they will swim back and forth. Sorry, it doesn’t work in prim water. They will walk under water in that case, as long as they can hold their breath.

Another good bit of info is Amaretto Ducks can use some of the Amaretto chicken products. That’s right, they can use the flu shots, poultry glow, potency seeds, and vivacity corn, and even the Beloved Bird! The food for Ducks is either Duck Diet for breeders, which also requires lettuce to make them happy, or duck Pet Pellets for non breeders.

Ducks also use the same incubator as chickens. It’s the 3.0/1.1 version available free at the bird food stores. And thanks to the last bird update, it no longer takes an hour to hatch the nests, only a few minutes.

Ducks are also like the chickens in that one food lasts one bird 4 weeks, 2 birds 2 weeks and so on. Their hardiness should also be at or near 100%. You can breed one drake to one hen, then they both go into recovery.

The Barnyard Bird G.P.S. (Global Peck’n Sort) is a tool that will change the settings on all your Barnyard Birds on one sim all at one time!!

1. Click the G.P.S. Updater.
2. Pick your Settings one at a time.
   • Movement
   • Animations
   • Text
   • Sounds
   • Range
   • Home
3. Hit Activate
4. After hitting activate your Barnyard Birds on the sim will all change to the same settings as you chose on the G.P.S.

Here is the duck wiki so you can check out all the great breeds and traits on these funny Amaretto birds

Quack Quack and Happy Breeding!

Since it’s almost October, this is a good time to get a little Spooky! In this case, we are going to talk about some little skeleton ponies.

Craved Mr. Bone-jangles Ponie

When it comes to Ponie Pals there are two sets of skeletal Ponies, so we will start with the Craved Mr. Bone-jangles ponies which were the craved breeding for October 2019. From October 1, 2019 until October 31, 2019, you had to breed Painted Ebony, Blackie Fabulous, and Masquerade in Onyx together. When you did, you had a chance at getting one of the following:

October 2021 Qualified Breeding

And now qualified breedings are back! And for the Ponies you will any combination of the Craved Bone Jangles Ponies together. So it’s time to pull them out, birth them and see what you can get in October 2021 from them.

Día de Muertos

Sadly this one is not in the Wiki yet but this is the second user created Ponie Pal which was created by Sera Renfrew. They are similar to the Bone Jangles but as you can see if the image below they are a little more cartoon like which makes them adorable.

You cannot use these for the monthly breeding but why not grab a few and get ready for Día de Muertos which is scheduled for November 1 and 2, 2021. If you want to read more about Día de Muertos, there is a wiki located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead.

These little ponie pals are not scary in anyway, they are gummy loving adorable skeleton ponies. So go out there and grab some today!!

Today, I want to remind you all about the most helpful tool you’ll ever use with Amaretto Breedables – The Wiki Pages! These diligently maintained pages, put all the information about past and current traits at your fingertips. And, they’re searchable to make finding a particular trait even simpler.

You can find the links to all five wiki pages here: http://amarettobreedables.com/pages/manuals

On the first page of each wiki is the manual for the corresponding breedable. The manual covers all the basics you need to know for successful breeding. From that page, you can link to facts, a glossary of terms, the product price list, the point system and other vital information about your breedables.  (*For the examples, the horse pages have been used.)

Most importantly, you can link to a list of traits. Traits are arranged in chronological order (oldest to newest), broken down by category and includes a photo of each.

To search for a trait, Just enter any keyword you wish to find and press the search button. For instance, if you were to search by the word “spring,” here is an abbreviated list of the results:

Super simple and easy to use!

We believe part of the fun of Amaretto Breedables is staying informed and educated about our products. That is why we provide you with these amazing tools that are, always, just a mouse click away! So, use those wiki pages TODAY!

Happy Breeding Everyone! This is Ava over and out!

Hey everyone Happy Thursday!

Second Life is not without it’s unpredictable behavior. Sometimes the re-starts, rollbacks and crashes can wreck havoc on your inventory items. These issues are most often related to asset server problems. You may have noticed that when Linden Lab posts grid status problems, they will often warn not to rez no-copy items during that period of time. This is because doing so can cause the servers to drop your inventory items. Nevertheless, there are a few things you can try to find your missing item(s).

First, remain calm!

Second, relog. Sometimes, this is all that is necessary for missing items to show up in your inventory again.

Third, check your Lost & Found folder in your inventory for the item. The object may have been returned to you without your knowing. Also, Check your Objects folder and don’t forget to look at any unknown “coalesced object” boxes. You may well find your missing items in there!

Fourth, try searching for the item using Area Search:
Go to top menu, World → Area Search.
Click on the “Find” tab and type part of the name of the item into the “Name” field. Click “Search.”
You will be taken to the “List” tab. If you see the name of the object, double-click it in the list and follow the red beacon to the object. Moving your avatar or camera around can help the Area Search detect items that are not detected initially

Fifth, go to point 0,0,0 in the region or, if you don’t have access to it because it is part of someone else’s private property, ask that parcel or region owner to look. Sometimes, rezzed items will be deposited there.
To get to point 0,0,0:
Either type “gtp 0 0 0” into local chat (without the quotes) and hit Enter;
Or open your mini-map (top menu, World → Mini-Map, or Ctrl-Shift-M) and fly or walk to the far southwest corner of the region. Try to pan below the ground.

Sixth, teleport to a low lag or viewer support parcel, such as Hippo Hollow http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hippo%20Hollow/43/167/51 or an empty water region, such as Cyclops http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cyclops/128/128/6 . Drop your draw distance low (for example, to 32 or lower) to minimize the work the viewer is trying to do outside of loading your inventory. Relog from there. If you are using the Firestorm viewer, try using their instruction for recovering missing inventory. http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_missing_inventory (This has worked on numerous occasions for me.)

Seventh, if the item missing is an Amaretto product, you can always file a ticket with Amaretto. The ticket system is located at http://support.amarettobreedables.com/index.php
There is a helpful video on the page to help guide you through the process.

I would like to point out a couple of things to keep in mind when using the Amaretto Help Desk
•PLEASE put both your full SL First name and Last name (if you do not have a last name put resident) in the ticket do NOT use display names
•All communication MUST be in the ticket. CSRs will not respond to in world IMs or Notecards! To ensure your ticket is resolved as quick as possible, Please keep ALL responses/communications in your ticket.
•Tickets may take 48-72 hours to get a response from the support team, please have patience.
•Do not respond to the emails, we do not get those, you must respond inside the ticket itself for us to see the response.
•No response to tickets from the user in 3 days and the ticket will be closed.
•Do not wait to be contacted inworld regarding your ticket. Please log in and check for responses to your tickets.
•Please do not file multiple tickets for the same issue, it only slows things down and the duplicate tickets will be closed. Refrain from refreshing your page on the ticket system, it will duplicate your tickets.
•You must be the owner of the Horse/Bundle, K-9/Kennel, Bird/Nest or Ponie/Basket to file a ticket. Please do not file tickets for others.
•Please include as much pertinent information as possible regarding your ticket/issue this will help expedite your ticket. Make sure to include the transaction history, from your dashboard, for recently purchased items.

We are always here to help! Happy breeding this is Ava over and out!

We all should know by now that the Sussex Bantam chicken is the bird of the month for Amaretto’s October Qualified Breedings, but just what IS a Sussex Bantam? The Sussex is a British breed of dual-purpose chicken, reared both for its meat and for its eggs. Eight colours are recognised for both standard-sized and bantam fowl. The Sussex is described as a docile but confident and friendly bird that is easy to handle. They love to forage and are very good at it, gathering much of their needs from the garden which makes them thrifty hens. Sussex are all around hardy, especially in the cold. They can lay 4-5 large light brown eggs each week.

With the Barnyard Bird update to 3.0, Amaretto released the Sussex Bantam. You can have a chance at one of the exciting Non-Starter Breed Birds by breeding any bird with a starter bird or by breeding together two starter birds. This coat CAN be passed on.

Since the release this bird has been used multiple times for special breedings, beginning with the Sapphire Dazzle Craved.
Starting Jan 1, 2020 until Jan 31, 2020, yif you bred any two of the following Birds: Sussex Bantam and Swedish Flower Bird,you had a chance to get a Sapphire Dazzle Craved Bird! The Sapphire Dazzle Craved DOES have the ability to pass.

The next monthly breeding to use the Sussex Bantam was the Coveted, which was released on July 1, 2020. Starting March 1, 2021 at 12:01 AM until March 31, 2021 11:59 PM any time you bred the following qualifiers together you had the opportunity to get an awesome surprise! The qualifiers were, one parent must have Granite Legs and the other must be one of the following Breeds: Silver Grey Dorking and Sussex Bantam. The surprise was the Coveted Ice. The Coveted coat does NOT pass, but the Glacial eye CAN pass.

They used the Sussex Bantam again for the April Coveted breeding. Starting April 1, 2021 at 12:01 AM until April 30, 2021 11:59 PM any time you breed the following qualifiers together you had the opportunity to get a awesome surprise! The qualifiers were one parent must have Wing Gold and the other must be one of the following Breeds: Sebright and Sussex Bantam. The Coveted – Metal coat DOES NOT have the ability to pass, but the Alloy Eye DOES have the ability to pass!

And now for the October Qualified Breeding project. Today is the first day the surprise can drop, until October 31st at midnight. Just breed any two Sussex Bantams for your chance to get a special coat. Can’t wait to see what they look like. Of course, we have to wait til they are adults. Ohh the antici…….PATION!

Hello and Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you are enjoying your day and your weekend is off to a great start!

Today the spotlight is shining on the Brandings trait for our horses!

The branding trait comes from breeding “Starter Coats” together or one starter with any other horse and CAN be passed on with the exception of the Amaretto Branding which is limited to the Show Horse only and can NOT pass on.

You could also get a Null Branding – a Null trait is an “Invisible trait”, a placeholder. These placeholders were implemented as a way to allow the breeder to have a maximum trait horse but still look the way they want it to look.

Additionally we have some Random Brandings as shown below. Please note that these brandings CAN be passed on with the exception of the Amaretto Branding.

The Amaretto Branding is limited to the Show Horse only and can NOT pass on.



For more information and a closer look at any of these brandings check them out on the website at https://horse.amaretto.wiki/index.php?title=Branding

Until next time this Snookie hoping you have an amazing weekend and a great week ahead. 

Happy Breeding!

These duck eyes might be a little creepy to people who suffer from Entomophobia, but that doesn’t make them any less amazing!!

These insect eyes came out when the ducks were released on October 8, 2018. You could find these as hidden traits in the starter ducks!

If you don’t have these, go grab some starter ducks today and see if you can get some Insect eyes.

Have a great Sunday!!!

Hello everyone! Its a brand new Day! Monday none the less, to go with a brand new month!
Welcome to October everyone! The month of tricks and treats and Oktoberfest!

I just wanted to take a few moments to share this months calendars with you! I hope you will join us for some events this month we always seem to have a lot of fun!

Here is this months ARU calendar if you havent check out ARU yet, you should!

I cant wait for you guys to see what tricks Amaretto has up its sleeves this month! Happy Breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

Vampire bats tend to live in colonies in almost completely dark places, such as caves, old wells, hollow trees, and buildings.

Vampire bats hunt only when it is fully dark. The common vampire bat feeds primarily on the blood of mammals (occasionally including humans). Once the common vampire bat locates a host, such as a sleeping mammal, it lands and approaches it on the ground. It then likely uses thermoception to identify a warm spot on the skin to bite. They then create a small incision with their teeth and lap up blood from the wound.

In 2017 Amaretto created these just for us to breed and have lots of fun finding their tricks and treats!

Halloween is just around the corner so I hope you’re ready for the next scare coming your way so beware!!

Well i hope you guys enjoy these animals as much as i do! Happy Breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

With the Element Dragons out, I thought we could take a look back at the original Elemental Horses.
On June 10, 2011 Amaretto held their first Amaretto Social Gala to celebrate the unveiling of the new website the Amaretto Social Network as well as the addition of the Elemental Horses. There were concerts, live singers, fireworks and 5 very special horses were given away as prizes! These 5 Elemental Gala Edition Horses were given away at random during the Social Gala and are the only ones on the grid that have particles effects!
Elemental Gala Horses can NOT pass their coat or the particle effects.

The great thing for breeders is we can get our own Elemental horses by breeding any two horses with Element eyes together. Also breeding an Elemental Gala Horse with another Elemental Horse or with any other horse with Element Eyes you will slightly increase your chance for another Elemental Horse. These elemental horses will NOT have the particle effect and also will not pass their coats, but the eyes can pass. Elemental Horses are an ongoing project and do not have an end date as of today. Happy Breeding!

So go out there today and start breeding some amazing new ponies!!

Happy Columbus Day everyone! I thought I would take a few minutes to talk about Columbus Day!

Columbus Day is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492, and Columbus Day 2021 occurs on Monday, October 11. It was unofficially celebrated in a number of cities and states as early as the 18th century, but did not become a federal holiday until 1937.

Did you know that today is another holiday in Canada!?
If you live in Canada today is Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is an annual Canadian holiday, held on the second Monday in October, which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year.

There are so many different cultures, places, and holidays that are celebrated by all the different people. I love that! So happy Columbus Day or Thanksgiving if either apply to you!

Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!

So tonight’s tale is about a poor little horse that was skin and bones. The farmer decided to put it out to pasture but the vapors from the toxic pond on the farm gave the horse the power to resurrect. This gave the farmer a shock of fright, as the horses mane wildly changed color and with crazed eyes he thrust his hooves on the farmers walls filling him with terror until the farmer collapsed on the floor at midnight.

On October 9, 2012 Amaretto released the Limited Edition Fright Night Horses. These Limited Edition Fright Night Horses were sold exclusively at the Breedable Expo and all were birthed with Long Mane and Long Tail. There was a possibility to get one random Limited Edition Fright Night Horse per purchase. The Limited Edition Fright Night Horses also contain 4 random new Wild Hair Traits that have the ability to pass!

Hey everyone its a great Wednesday here! I wanted to take a moment to tell everyone something I have been seeing happening lately.

Some people have been filing tickets because their horse didn’t give them a bundle.
When i go to their horses and check their land settings I immediately see the issue and 9 times out of 10 it has to do with the group they have their horse rezzed out in.

For example at this sim

You can see they have build and object entry set to group only

What does this mean, it means if i have a horse that is rezzed out on this land and not set to the group, my horse does not have the ability to rez its bundle when it is time to be born.

Many markets and personal sims have different settings so you MUST be diligent about what group you have your horses set too.

How can you tell which group your horse is set to? If you edit your horse, you can see what group it is set to.

One way I make sure that i do this is a quick firestorm setting
The second box reads Always rez objects under the land group if possible

This will solve this issue as long as you have the group to the land you are rezzing on!
Well I hope this helps some of you missing your bundles! This is Ava over and out!

Hello everyone hope that your having a great day! I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about something Super! I have noticed that there have been a few tickets recently about confusion between a Super Mix Pack and a Jumbo Mix Pack. Let me take a moment to explain the difference between the two.

A Super Mix Pack is 5 Breedable Food & 5 Salt Licks with 5x the servings as a regular Breedable Food & Salt. The cost of a Super Mix Pack is 5,850 LS.

Do not confuse a Super Mix Pack with the Jumbo Mix pack which is the same price but has 25 Breedable Food & 25 Salt Licks.

What is the advantage of a Super Mix Pack vs a Jumbo Mix pack?
Well its the same amount of food just in less prims. Remember one food out of the Super Mix pack will last 5 xs longer than a food from a Jumbo Mix Pack.

We have clearly marked the Super Mix Pack food to look different than any other food it has a 5xs stamp on the food as well as the salt.

If you have questions about any of the Amaretto Horse products you can check out the Product Price List:
http://wiki.amarettobreedables.com/index.php?title=Product_Price_List

So when you are buying mix packs please be sure you buy the one you want because there are no refunds or exchanges on no transfer items!!!

So be sure to confirm you are buying the correct pack! Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!
