Posted January 3, 200718 yr I am guessing a DF Dominant Pied Yellow Faced Type 2 Skyblue Dilute (possibly spangle) the camera does not capture his actual color and he has faint details on his wings almost spangle looking but ONLY a few not alot... http://i14.tinypic.com/2ltoz1z.jpg Thats his mate..and him he is the creamish one... http://i11.tinypic.com/2ds07rp.jpg He is such a wierd color... http://i17.tinypic.com/2r6ppvm.jpg Agian... http://i11.tinypic.com/2hhppg7.jpg Another... I wonder.... If anyone figures out what they are could you possibly tell me what babies I would get from them?

January 3, 200718 yr Your yellow one looks like a Dark Eyed Clear (if the eyes are not red) but I could be wrong lets see what others say. The blue one looks like a diluted Opaline Violet - I would need a better shot of the wings I can't see if there is spangling or not.
January 3, 200718 yr I agree- the first one looks opaline violet- (female?) can't quite see its head. Second has green on rump and between legs- no markings though.... (or very light ones)....................
January 3, 200718 yr Cant be dark eyed clear as hes got blue on him lovey (Laughing out loud) I think hes a yellow face blue type II recessive pied male (i think recessive becuase his cere is pink and if he was a dom pied it would be bright blue), and his mate is either a dilute opaline violet, or a greywing violet opaline :sad: (Laughing out loud) Both STUNNIGN BIRDS!! And will have normal blues split to opaline, yellow face blues, possibly pieds if hen split to recessive pied... Good luck! Kirby Edited January 3, 200718 yr by Kirby
January 3, 200718 yr Author okay Im sorry about this picture thing but how do I make them by the limits because I use tinypic and it dosen't let you change the measurements on the picture....
January 4, 200718 yr I'm with Kirby here. Although it can be a double factor dom pied, but I Think it's more likely a recessive pied since I don't see any iris rings, and the cere as Kirby's mentioned has pink cere.
January 4, 200718 yr Author Does he look like a young bird? What should I breed him to? Do you think that Dilute hen is good?
January 4, 200718 yr Cant be dark eyed clear as hes got blue on him lovey lol I think hes a yellow face blue type II recessive pied male (i think recessive becuase his cere is pink and if he was a dom pied it would be bright blue), and his mate is either a dilute opaline violet, or a greywing violet opaline lol Both STUNNIGN BIRDS!! And will have normal blues split to opaline, yellow face blues, possibly pieds if hen split to recessive pied... Good luck! :bluebudgie: Kirby I'm with Kirby here. Although it can be a double factor dom pied, but I Think it's more likely a recessive pied since I don't see any iris rings, and the cere as Kirby's mentioned has pink cere. A male doublefactor dominant pied will usually have a pink cere. Most of them do not change to blue. The other bird looks violet, and is not a spangle. At least, I do not see any characteristics of being one.
January 5, 200718 yr It's possible he is a young bird. I'm not sure he is a yellowface the yellow is even over the body and I only see green patches not blue. As to the hen yes she is Opaline and i think greywing but I can't see spangle signs.
January 5, 200718 yr Bubbles: Then those males must be recessive pieds, because DF dom pied males definately have blue ceres. I've even seen Them.
January 5, 200718 yr Bubbles: Then those males must be recessive pieds, because DF dom pied males definately have blue ceres. I've even seen Them. They are definitley not recessive pieds as proved by the babies they have produced. http://www.budgietalk.com/mutations.html quote *Doublefactor Dominant Pieds: These birds will be marked much more like a recessive pied. Sometimes their bodies are almost completely one color (the same color that is on their head). Doublefactor dominant pied budgies do have iris rings. If you have a budgie that looks recessive pied but develops iris rings, chances are you have a double factor dominant pied. Like the recessive pied, the males of this mutation sometimes develop a pink cere rather than blue. (A blue cere is still possible in the males of this mutation.)

January 5, 200718 yr Author I should have took a picture of the bottom of him...he has a few light green feathers and some skyblue feathers. This is why I think Yellow Faced Type 2 because Why would a Green bird have Blue feathers...the yellow face type 2 skyblues have green and blue feathers....This is one weird colored bird
January 5, 200718 yr Double Factor Dominant pied with pink cere AND iris rings .....and no he doesnt have testicular cancer. Edited January 5, 200718 yr by Bubbles
January 5, 200718 yr Ohhh!!! I see...Ive never had dominant pieds So im not too familiar with their colours, i just thought dominant pieds, and double factors have either brown, or blue ceres not pink like my recessive birds. Can we get batter pics Joey? :hap: The other hen is not spangle, shes a violet opaline greywing isnt she? ps- He is a yellow face type II then, after their first moult the blue they have as babies turns more of a greenish shade thats very flourescent like. You can see it in Kirby (my yellow face blue type II, and my yellow face blue type II recessive pied male Chico as well as my yellow face blue type II recessive pied dilute...her colours are very similar to your males, greenish but blue at the same time, a perfect example of a yellow face type II thats gone through it's 1st moult at least, if not more)...

January 5, 200718 yr A green bird can still have blue feathers around his vent/belly, alot of my green babies have blue feathers (or blue sheen) around their underbody when born slowly moulting out to mainly green. Both parents are split blue so some of the young males that have this (blue feathering) I am going to see if they carry it too.
January 5, 200718 yr Well ALL green bird still have the blue in the feathers and in some lights it shows up better (sometimes the flash plays affects on the colour of the feathers.) Since you can see the blue clearly then I would agree with you on the yelllowface. Edited January 5, 200718 yr by Nerwen
