I saw a budgie today that at first glance was an albino- white/ red eyes, looking harder I realised it was very slightly tinged blue towards the rear (kinda like the one in budgie pictures-willsbrook/my white budgie) with very faint bars on its head- although they were that faint I may have been imagining it, or it could have been brown dirt!

Just wanting your thought on this slightly blue tinged albino budgie-female w/brown cere- its had me thinking today!!

 

sorry can't get a photo it was in a shop

albinos can have a hue of blue tinge since they are blue based it is common.

 

I have an albino girl, Selene, and depending on the light conditions, I can sometimes see her blue tinge.

 

In reality, Albinism is hiding the real budgie colour, but sometimes not completely, and in those cases, a blue tinge comes up, or a green one in a Lutino.

 

In Selene’s case, albinism is hiding a yellow face blue.

 

When I take pics of her without the use of a flash, she looks normal white. But if I use the flash, then the tinge comes up easily.

 

 

Normal Selene:

 

Tinged Selene.

 

Is this what you saw?

Great Photos.

That makes sense. Yeah tinge showing through just on rump- but kinda like the photos

Cheers guys!

the rump area is where you see the most of the tinge in real life.

On my screen it looks like she has blue shade on body and pink wings :ausb: - beautiful

Hi Zebra,

 

I wouldn’t mind having the first budgie with pink wings!! Can you imagine the success that would be?!

 

(Laughing out loud)

Yes, I would like to have a pink budgie, and with blue spots maybe
