Posted September 21, 200618 yr Just curious, but do you have a favourite mutation? I love all my birds for their different personalities and quirks. They are such great little characters! But will admit that I do love the Type 1 YF, a beautiful bird. Mind you I don't have one yet! Do you have a favourite? Edited September 22, 200618 yr by budgie_addict

September 22, 200618 yr They're all really cute.. but I prefer blues to greens for the most part. I like violet, clearwings, blue series dilutes, greys, fallows, clearbodys -- and spangles
September 22, 200618 yr Well everytime I think I like that one I like another one but I do seem to prefer blues over greens
September 22, 200618 yr Author Add violets and dilutes to my list too! (Laughing out loud)! Maybe I am with you Shellball, just give me one of each!
September 22, 200618 yr Just give me one of each!!!!!(Laughing out loud) :(Laughing out loud): love it Spangles are my fave with dominant pieds a very close second.
September 22, 200618 yr I have a few favourites. 1. dominant pieds 2. YF type 1 3. YF greys 4. DF Spangles 5. albinos and lutinos
September 22, 200618 yr Going to be the Green sheep, my favorite is the original light green, followed by blue spangles and ino....
September 22, 200618 yr l love all the mutation but one that l really like are the YF recessive pied , like my budgies Butter & popcorn ; Edited September 22, 200618 yr by birdluv
September 24, 200618 yr Birdluv, I think Butter (the yellow?) is a doublefactor dominant pied and not a recessive pied. I'm not sure about Popcorn without seeing her back markings. My favorites are blue series pieds, with any additional genes (opaline, clearflight, etc) a bonus. Add a few full bodied greywings. Kinda like these:
September 24, 200618 yr My favourite would be a YF spangle. The more aqua the body colour the better. Tying for second would be violets or YF recessives. I definately prefer blues, but have a few greens too.
September 25, 200618 yr Birdluv, I think Butter (the yellow?) is a doublefactor dominant pied and not a recessive pied. I'm not sure about Popcorn without seeing her back markings. here is a picture of their backs .
September 25, 200618 yr Yeah, I don't think Butter is recessive. I would say doublefactor dominant pied. He reminds me a lot of my Sunny. Which means if you ever breed him to a normal hen, all babies will be pied. I think Popcorn is recessive though. How old are they?
September 25, 200618 yr Thanks , l knew they were pieds but not quite sure which type l got them at the pet store in June so they are about 5-6 months old , l think that they came from the same nest they might be brother , sister .
September 26, 200618 yr I don't the 'proper' name but i just love yellow face, blue bodied budgies!!! I don't have one and I am reallly realllllly wanting one but one has yet to cross my path!!! hahah
September 27, 200618 yr my favorites are YFTII, but my most perfectly proportioned bird as far as markings go is my sky blue opaline dominant pied cock, everytime I look at him I have to say "wow what a gorgeous bird" next in line is Rocky my YFTII grey greywing opaline cock, he's getting prettier every day. I also prefer the white bases to the yellows.
September 28, 200618 yr I’m absolutely nuts about cinnamons! I also prefer blues to greens. These are my favourites: 1 – Cinnamon (Pied, Opaline, Yellow Face, others) 2 – Lacewings (dream about the day I will get my first) 3 – Follows (just got my first! Here is the thread 11790) 4 – Greywing 5 - Inos 6 – Spangle 7 – Pied
