Here is a picture of a half sider

i know i was just asking if it was normal to have a yellow bird with blue fethers because i thought that budgie were either white or yelow like to get a green the blue is added to a yello but if u want a blue blue is added to white

tks

There is the yellowface gene. If your bird is a pied and yellowface it will look mostly yellow with some blue markings. This gene only blocks some of the yellow in the feathers.

Looking forward to your pictures and then we can help you some more :budgiedance:

As Nerwen said yes it is normal and I can't wait to see pics :budgiedance:

okay, here are some photo's that I just took of the new hen.

What do you all think???

Sandy, (Josh's mum)...

Yep she would be a yellow face. She has very interesting feathers over her back there, the barring seems to have extended a little far. Quite cool

 

How old is she cause her cere looks quite mature and she still has barring quite far forward on her head, it it possible thats he may have a bit of blackface in her.

Yellowface type 2 Recessive pied. By the look if the brighter feathers in patches and the cere only just changing colour I would thing about 3-4 months old and starting the big moult to get the adult plumage when the head bars are lost.

The back patch does look interesting.

Very differnt

Hi Nerwen

The yellow came out a bit brighter in the photo's than what they are in real life, I think because I was taking the photo with the light in the background..... We got her on Saturday and were told that she's about 11 weeks old. In that patch on her back, there are blue and green individual feathers and the black ones. The main body yellow is patchy but there are no white feathers. I can't wait to see what her adult color will be.... When should she start?

Sandy

She is a pretty one.

 

As an adult her yellow may bleed more into her blue and change into a more seafoam type of green

the adult plummage usually doesn't look much different but after a molt the birds colors can become more vibrant. Her molt will start when she is around 3-4 months and she will have one every 4-6 months.

 

Since I don't see any black or grey marking on her back I would say she is a clearwing too along with being a yellowface type 2 recessive pied.

I finally remembered in what topic I had seen feathers like that before (I first thought of the dusk budgie)

 

Hommer had a funny looking bird and was asking about it http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....0marks&st=0

But the pictures don't work now I think the answer was at last picked on being stress marks and with your bird they should moult out.

No...it belongs to a show breeder and was displayed at a show as they are extremely rare and literally a freak of nature just like feather dusters are.
