whitewing and clearwing are the same thing The whitewing is only used for blue birds and yellowwing for green birds. Clearwing can be used all over (which is why I think it should be the only term used)
Thanks for the pics javi and for finding the mistake with the link I really wanted to see that violet one.

Me too! Beautiful pictures, javi, and welcome back. I love your birds.
I don't mind the link to Rainbow, although he was pied, he also fit the definition of a "rainbow". Like Javi said, the definition of a rainbow is a yellowface opaline whitewing blue. Rainbow was a type two yellowface opaline whitewing blue pied. I think he was also a dilute. Hath had a link to a website that had lots of pictures of rainbows - maybe he will see this and post it again. I think it is difficult to get a "good" one. Most seem to have a grey wash to the wings instead of having them be truly clear. But they are definitely pretty birds no matter what.
PS - I love that picture of Elmo.

Do you have a great picture of one of your budgies? Why not enter it in the Budgie of the Month Competition?!
