Hi guys,

Can some one please show me a picture of a visual violet.

I have been told they are rare is that true.

thanks

I'm not that sure, but I think that this is a visual violet budgie.

 

little one is right.

 

I am deleting your repeated topic.

...and no they are not rare. About as common as most varieties.

i wouldn't say rare either you can pick them up at most places... the violet picture from little one looks a little tampered with but here's my opaline visual violet cock

I have a lot of visual violets. I would not say they are rare at all, but some areas we live in may not have them in numbers depending on what people are choosing to breed.

I do think,some ppl get mixed up with voilets & cobalts.There is more chance

of them being cobalts,then voilets.Some of the pictures you see being called

voilets are cobalts.

Violets come in different shades and some of the coloring can be enhanced in photos by flashes. Merlin is a violet in my signature he is a gorgeous almost blue jean type of blue. His blue always come out different in a flash very similar to the pics above.

Who am I to argue.These breeders that are always quoteing violets.Ive not seen

any mention of mauve.If you are big on voilets there is a % of mauves.Perhaps they

think they are greys.

I have some beautiful Yellowface Visual Violets in my aviary and every time I try and photograph them as they truly look ( a very strong purple lavender colour ) the photos just show them looking blueish. Photos of violets just never show right on here, regardless of what our eyes see at home.

(Laughing out loud) I am a mauve lover too

Yoshe in my sig below is a visual violet

I have a budgie who is lilac in colour. So would she be a dilute voilet? I will have to get a photo of my birds next time i have my camera with me.

Gosh KAZ, they are such gorgeous birds!! I am so envious. I dont think Ive seen any violets here so far, but hopefully that will change when I join the club tomorrow night I have mauves that I thought were greys Am I right in saying that mauves look grey but have blue on their cheeks?

I think two of the babies in my signature are violets and their dad also
