okay here are my 2 latest additions

Hulk

I am guessing he is a normal dark (olive) green

and here is Kit

Kit I am not sure of so any suggestions would be great (i am thinking green spangle with something else)

hes most likly an olive normal and she looks like a somthing spangle, sorry im not much help

Hulk is a grey green normal

 

Kit I would say is a YF2 blue spangle

 

 

Both nice chubby big birds

Not OLIVE but grey green

I think the first one is a grey green cock and the second one is a YF2 spangle hen

Oh Geez, why do i always get it wrong I was thinking YF type 2 and grey green but said nope

Here is an olive green budgie as compared to your grey green

 

see the difference in colour and depth of colour.

Also an olive green budgie has a dark navy blue tail like this

Oh i was miles off

Oh well thats good to know, I mean that im not the only one

I think basically all of us have had trouble with them from when we're just learning

 

Remember the rules from now on, Grey greens have grey cheek patches with a black tail tip and Olives have blue cheek patches with a blue tail tip

 

That's what I was told when i learnt

Got it

Very easy to get greygreens and olives mixed up ...I used to all the time until I got my fisrt olive bird.

thanks guys now i am in the know about the differance i can really see it, this is good cause now I have a partner for Amelia:D

can anyone take a guess at how old they are, Hulk cere is not real dark yet and Kits is brown but has a slight blue tinge at the top, above the nostrils (sorry if this is in the wrong section, please let me know if i should put it somewhere else)

Well I now know that Starsky was an Olive not a greygreen

They would both appear to be over a year old to me. Maybe 18 months. Any legrings ??

So does that mean that Humprhey is an olive bird?

 

he has a blue tail and is not the light green that others are. Look at the green bird behind in the picture below. I always though he might have a dark factor gene, but if what you say about the tail is true, then he must be an olive bird,

 

 

I am going to have to check his tail tomorrow. I might be wrong.

nope no rings

With him, I would try him if the eggs are clear I would then wait 3 months - As a budgies Iris ring are large and white from 8 months old - So he could very well be 8months old or 1, 2 year AT least then after the 3 month wait, he would be 12 months minimum -

They are a nice addition

 

Olives have dark blue/purple cheek patches and black-blue tails. Grey-greens have silver grey patches and black tails. This is the difference.

 

I agree Kaz and the others said about the mutation .
