i think violet spangle cock

 

the 2 i have said that are violet look blue in the picture but are a violet colour

I think...

1: Hen, I agree with your colour.

2: Cock, YF2 Recessive Pied Skyblue Spangle <- gorgeous bird!

3: Hen, YF2 Mauve

4: Boy, I agree with what you said.

 

Nice birds!

1 - Spangle Dominate Pied Cobalt. I can't see any real signs of violet such as very dark cheek patches or hue around the shoulders. I think hen

 

2 - Spangle recessive pied yellowface type 2. I think male the cere is very pink all over.

 

3 - Yellowface type 2 Mauve. It's hard to say I would lean to male.

 

4 - Spangle Cobalt. The blue is a bit darker than normal so I think you could be right with violet. Male.

the birds in picture 1 and 4 are almost the exact same colour

 

also as i said the cere on the 2nd bird the bottom half is brown and the top half is blue as thogh it is changing all to brown

A closer picture of the cere would help us to help you... in the photo provided the bird definatley looks male.

 

Violet rarely photographs realistically, if they look violet to you in real life, they probably are.

blues are hard to photograph I found the especially hard with Merlin who is a violet.

 

Nerwen I agree with you on everything you stated

On the 2nd bird I don't see the brown on the cere?

I believe 1 and 4 are both cobalts not violet

 

Beautiful birds

this is the best picture i could get of it (not sure if it is any good)
