I have just bought 3 new budgies they are young so I will pair them up next year. I am going to have a guess at their colours.

Opaline cobalt/Violet (looks quite purple)Cock

Opaline spangle violet (words probably not right order)Hen

 

The yellow face type II geywing dilute Hen

 

 

Here they are together

 

 

 

How did I go???

Seems to me like you got the colours right! I think the second two at least look like males to me though, can't say on the first cause i can't see the cere

I can't see the first one's cere but Bea is right. The last two are cocks.

The last one can't be both greywing and dilute, it's either one or the other

 

In a way they can be both.

 

The dilute series contains greywings, dilutes and clearwings.

They are gorgeous ! But you had better go out and buy 3 girls now for them cos I think they are all boys.

gorgeous birds if you had a clearer shot of the ceres we could help you on sexing, till then I reserve because I can't see them last 2 clearly.

Here are photos of Asta and Abert I am sure that Alfred is a male as he has bright blue cere and he has just started to get hie iris ring.

Thanks to everybody who helped with the correct colours :ausb: I think I now have some understanding of the dilute series :(Laughing out loud):

 

Sorry that last photo is of ALBERT not Alfred
