Does your white female budgie have red eyes or not ? And if you can manage some other angles with your photos we can tell you what type they are .............Cheers karen Link to comment

So you do have a female (white one) and male. As Bubbles says if you want do know the mutation a good shot of the back of them would be good. Link to comment

Your female, if it has dark eyes could be either a Double factor spangle or a dark eyed clear. If the budgies are around 6 months only you need to remove the nesting box you have in the cage as they are far too young for baby making. Its best to wait until they are at least 12 months of age.

I have newspaper in there at the moment but it keeps getting blown around a bit and then the cage would be harder to clean I thought sand might be easier? oh and my female has dark eyes they look black to me Edited October 25, 2006 by juleslou Link to comment

If he has black tail, it means he's a grey opaline, if he has blue he's a mauve opaline like Bubbles mentioned. As with Winter, She's either an albino (she will have red eyes), Dark Eyed clear (she'll have completely black eyes) or a DF spangles (she'll have dark/black eyes with white iris ring around the edge, and she may also have very very faint blueish or greyish tinge on her body) They are both absolutely gorgeous. And welcome with posting pics. Link to comment

Its really easy to just sweep up with a dustpan and brush (the top layers) or when i'm lazy i stick the vacuum cleaner in there and suck up the top layer (just don't put the nozzle to close or you will end up with no sand left ) Cheers :beer: Una Link to comment
