hi everyone,

i have bred this budgie myself and have always wondered what type of budgie it is because to me it seems like a more unique colour and im not 100% positive about budgie types yet so i was hoping someone here could give me a hand.

the bird has a sky blue belly and white wings with light grey markings on it and the tip of the tail and tips of the wings are white also in the photo the eyes seem to be abit red but they are actually pure black

She looks to be a full body grey wing recessive pied

is her blue bright between her legs? if not then a greywing recessive pied and I say recessive since you said you can see the red in her eyes that is from the recessive pied gene .

She looks like a Recessive Pied Greywing Skyblue to me. Very pretty!

thanks, now i finally know what type of bird she is

To me she looks spangle recessive sky blue.

 

The markings on the wings don't look grey to me or the throat spots. They look black.

i think spangle too. Sky blue recessive pied spangle like Nerwen said.

so basically if those markings on her wings are dark she is a spangle and if they are light she is a grey wing?

the spangle gene makes the black markings on the wings into fine lines on the edges. (if you look at my sig it looks something like that) Greywings have grey markings on the wings and the throat spots. Most people new to genetics tend to mix these genes up.

If you click here you can see the different mutations and see visually what Nerwen is saying about the spangle, greywing etc.. Different Mutations

thanks for all the help guys, that link should be a good guide for me in the future
