HI there,

TOday we went to a pet shop and saw the most georgeous budgie, Its a female.

My mum and I just fell in love with it and even though its not very good to get budgies from petshops we still did.

Anyways, The pet shop people said tht all of the budgies were under a year old,some about 6 months.

WE called her opal,

She is a pied of some sort i think, The pet shop people said those types of budgies are called "rainbow budgies" And with some research ive had on here about PIEDS i thought "OMG Rainbow budgies" Petshops dont know anything lol.

She is yellow, green, blue and all sorts, Ill have to geta picture later.

The only odd thing about her is that the beads/spots that are suppose to be on both sides of her cheecks or whatever/ Well she only has one black spot on one side of her cheecks and thats it. She doent even have another spot on the other cheek, only one single spot (sorry if this is confusing ill get a picture soon )

I thought like all petshop budgies they arent tame, WEll i let her out in the bathroom and cuddled her and patted her and she just sat on my finger. Then she flew off but then i got her again, she doesnt look that young but shes not sick either,

Well thanks for reading this long topic, and could you plz give me any other advie i would appreciate it ,

THis isnt my first budgie ive got 15 others

Thanks\

:bliss:

I don't have much advice to give or anything, but all I wanted to say was that when it comes to their markings (e.g. throat spots) I wouldn't worry too much as long as the bird seems healthy. It's just the way she is! I have no idea whether it's characteristic in pieds or not.

 

Sounds beautiful - can't wait for a picture.

 

Best of luck

Thanks,

I am now calling it her lucky spot lol,

Here is some pics of opal,

HOpe these help

You have a very beautiful budgie. She is a type 2 yellow face cobalt dominant pied. The yellow has spread through the white and the blue giving the colourful effect. She looks about 6 months old

She is gorgeous and i agree, she is a YF2 dominant pied (my aviary is filled with them) and it is quite common for them to be missing markins on one side of their face

thanks, the spot in the picture is the only one on her face

She is cute. Make sure you quarantine her for 30 days well away from your other birds.

She is cute and yes remember quarantine.

thansk again,

She is my inside bird, we have 2 inside budgies and 2 inside cockatiels,

Opal is in my room, in the hallway is the cockatiels and in the lounge is the budgie. Its a pain having 3 cats so they are all hanging up, (people are always bumping their heads on the cages :lol2:

She is well away from the others.

BEfore i came to this site i didnt know to quarantine so i never did, BUt none of them got sick, or scaley face or anything. BUT i have been quarantinen my birds since ive been on this site

Good to hear Brittany you were the lucky one.
