Buttered

Thanks guys. I was of the opinion that she was also a grey.. Here are a couple more pics I got, that give a little bit more of a closeup of her rump and cheek patches. Also, could you have a guess as to how old you think she is? I bought her as an 'adult budgie' a month or two ago, but she does seem a bit younger than the cobalt spangle opaline greywing male that she's pretty friendly with.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I get some nice chicks out of the first two older birds, they're getting very lovey at the moment. Also, just a couple of questions to help me understand it a little better: For the first hen that you think is a mauve dilute, how can you tell whether it is a mauve or a grey?? To my (untrained) eye, it just looks like a grey.. And also, with dilute, what rules out a greywing or something similar? Is it because the wing markings are more pronounced.. Isaac

Gday guys, I bought a few new birds a while ago to restart the thrill of breeding again sometime in the future. I've been drying to determine a few mutations, and there's 3 birds that I'm not too sure about. Just hoping that someone can enlighten me a little further with what mutations they are. First bird is a cock. Im guessing cobalt opaline greywing?? Second bird is a hen. A grey spangle greywing, or just grey greywing?? And the third bird is a much younger hen. She is skyblue, but it's very diluted, so maybe a skyblue spangle clearwing?? And finally is a a photo of the all together, that shows the colours in comparison to others. Cheers!
