What Am I?

Here is what I came up with: Olive Yellow

 

The Yellow Budgie: The Yellow Budgie comes in three color variations. All variations have buttercup yellow face masks, though the Olive Yellow has more of a mustard color to it. They have no throat spots at all and have bluish purple cheek patches; the light yellow has very pale purple patches, which are barely perceptible. None of the varieties have the wing markings common to many other budgies. The Olive Yellow has bluish black tail feathers, which are a bit darker than those of the Cobalt and Skyblue Budgies. The tail feathers of the Light and Dark Yellows are only slightly lighter than their body colors. The body of the Light Yellow is buttercup yellow, the Dark Yellow's coloration is only slightly darker, and the Olive Yellows coloring is more of a mustard yellow. This is the first recorded color variation outside of the naturally occurring green varieties. The first instances were recorded in Germany and Belgium in 1870. http://www.centralpets.com/php/search/stor...ay.php?Story=24

 

 

 

Another site the only thing that throws me off is it says they don't have throat spots the bird in question does http://www.budgies.org/info/colors/yellow.html

not with the strength of colour on the wings.

 

I found the answer and we where right. The cinnamon gene with the Olive gene or the grey-green gene gives the body a mustard colouring to it.

 

Since the bird has more signs for a Olive rather than grey-green eg, no grey parent, bluish tail. I would say Olive cinnamon.

gotcha it is confusing - I am still confused. Una breeds the most interesting greens/yellows and Karen is in charge of the blue gene (Laughing out loud)
