Can anyone help me with wing markings? I have a number of different wing markings in my aviary and I am having trouble telling what is what! I have some where the body colour is coming through on the edge of the wing feathers (On an otherwise clear feather) is this spangle? And what's the diff between this and lacewing? I also have some which I guess are greywings but they aren't really grey all the way over the feather and some which are cinnamon something or others! (Maybe opalines )

 

I can't believe I am struggling so much with this! I have had birds, including budgies, for so long but I've only really now got the time to get interested in this aspect of it so it's a steep learning curve!

 

HELP!!

Post some pics, this'll help us to tell you, and make pointers on the birds for next time you're trying to work one out

I'll have to try and take some, they are in the aviary so the light's not great and they are moving so much, I'll update tonight with some piccies if I can.

Cool, look forward to it

Me too, ..... Melbourne, there i a PINNED section of members birds ... They have picks there For Opalines, spangles and etc you could compare yours to them too

I've tried looking at those Neat, they seem to all look the same to me My internet server has been down since yesterday arvo so hopefully it will be working tonight and I'll be able to post picks at home, otherwise I'll have to try and do it at work.

okay so thanks to a helpful site supplied by Neat I have determined that I have, Goldenface spangles, Goldenface opaline spangles, cinnamons, greywings and full-body-colour greywings, also maybe some clearwings with very pale markings but I'll have to look closer! Wow, wasn't expecting such a mix!

sounds like a nice mix there. just cos you figured it out doesn't mean you don't need to post the pictures now though

Yeah, yeah, I'll still post once I can access the net so that I can get confirmation

you don't have to, I just like looking at everyones budgies...

We have all the pictures we need in our Mutations page & Daz even put up the information in Show Standards Forum.
