I got 2 new budgies as a wedding present from my husband

 

Albino girl - Snow flake, and a boy - Johny (I'm not sure what colour he is - looks like a spangle pied to me )

 

 

Fantastic!!! Are they english budgies?

I don't know. But I don't think so, they are from a pet shop and don't have a ring, they are probably some mix

 

But they are so cute, I love them

OMG they are gorgeous I would say a mauve for your spangle - that is my favorite

awwww they are so adorable

Your right with Johnny, mauve spangle pied.

 

Both are really lookers Your husband really know what equals as a special gift

I actually picked them myself.

I was just looking at them in the pet shop, because I didn't know that I'm allowed any more birds

And Mark said I can have them

 

It's funny when we met he hated all birds, now he helps me to take care of them

 

 

 

I've read somewhere that Lutinos and Albinos are always girls - is it true? Do you know why?

Edited August 27, 200618 yr by Zebra

No it is not always true but more frequently they are girls because it is a sex linked gene. What happens if the boy budgie doesn't have 2 of the lutino/albino gene he won't express it, the gene will be hidden. Females only need 1 to express the gene so that is why it seems like there are more because the boys usually hide the gene.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot lovey
