hi trish im not to good at this myself but i do believe but may be mistaken that the blue and white budgie is a spangle with a pied inheritance hence the laced wing markings and the spot on head there has been talk that spangle budgies can have spots on head but this is only due to having a pied inheritance eg mum spangle white wing ,dad pied white based hope this helps my knowledge is mainly due to my own breeding experiences im no expert but seeing is believing and best way to find out is to pair it with a pied most probably a danish i would say if chicks come out spangled and pied there is your answer good luck some one else i am sure will probably know straight up but im just a novice and injoy the challenge of finding the perental genetics of birds i know no history of most times i am able to be right and can start my own line from their hope i did not confuse you there

Green Texas Clearboby or an Opaline

This one the same as the one above or different if so need a better picture of the back of the wings.

These are my guess with the pictures you have, don't post them anywhere until we get more opinions too.

Thankyou guys! I look forward to more opinions.

Green bird looks like an opaline to me - think the tail is wrong colour for clearbody and the bird shows the typical opaline window in the wing. As others have said, blue bird looks like a spangle, probably also dilute and opaline. The blue bird in the picture below is a different bird and looks like a sky spangle. The baby in the picture below that appears to be a dilute pied - can't see markings clearly so a chance it is spangle also. Jaz

Sky blue dilute (could also be opaline)

Light green opaline Texas clearbody

Sky blue spangle

Sky blue recessive pied dilute

Yeah, Neville, my answers are identical except for the colors, I feel good lol B)
