The pony thing was a joke, I'm allergic to them so.... I don't have a mobile phone, ipod or anything because my money is being all saved up for my budgies. Here are some better pics.

Your hen seems split for recessive and I wonder if that has anything to do with her tail colour ? I also have some darkly marked ( on wings ) skyblue greywings so I will take a closer look at them too tomorrow and see what their tails look like. Link to comment

It is definetley green. Most of my sky blues have navy tails I think? Link to comment

You're right, her tail does look a bit green, but the first picture doesn't really show it. Link to comment

Ratzy did you use a flash? Looks like you did. This will alter the colour since colour produced in parrot feathers is in part cause by constructive interference by the electromagnectic spectrum.

I'll try to get a picture without it. Link to comment

TBC light green cock. Opaline light green cock. Sky blue hen. Well, just throwing in my 2 cents, Ratzy. I think it's hard to get colors to show up true in photos. Your new hen's tail looks greener in this photo than in the later photos, but it still looks kind of aqua. Same with the two other birds in the shop, kind of aqua. But you are the one with it in real life, and you are the one who sees Chubba Chubs every day. You will be the best judge of whether the new hen's tail looks like Chub's tail. The rest of us can wait until quarantine is over, and then maybe you could get a photo of both of them side by side. (Even then, no guarantees that it will show up on here properly.) By the way, does she have a name yet? Link to comment
