The  chance to get a Diamond is the same for any valid 4 colour combo. So the best combos to get a Diamond are simply those which have the shortest fail time. If you can try 25 times instead of 12 in a week you double your chances. Basically you can calculate it statistically but that's food for another topic. My point was don't use Wizard it has special  breeding rules and you run the risk of wasting your Diamond chance on an Infinity and since the game does not allow you to breed with Infinity you will still have only one Diamond. If you use the Yellow-Blue-Green-Purple colour combo like you did (Parakeet and Aether) you're fine since well...you didn't use a Wizard. You can use a Diamond to make others. Crusader or Quetzal can easily be made with a regular Diamond usually within the hour. Infinity is a little bit more difficult (you might end up with a second or third Quetzal) but it shouldn't take you more than that. BTW I took the trouble of calculating the Fail time for your combo. It's about 14 hours or 12 tries in a week that puts it in the Top20 of longest fail times and more than double of the shortest fail combos.
