Hmmmm....... Brownwing??????

Pet Bird?

greygreen. would need a better shot of the wings to be sure. the look of the flights it could be a cinnamon (which could explain the lightness of the feathers) but the thoat spots look black not brown

a male too...

okay so what is it?

A shot of the back of the wings would be good, the flights look grey and the cheek patches silver so I am going to go with a greywing grey green with the picture that I have right now .

Personally I think its a grey green normal. But it cant be? That would be too simple. I have a feeling its going to be something no one suspects.

TCB Cock - dark wings that go to a grey colur at the end

Yeah i was wondering TCB too wing shot really is needed here to be sure

I don't have a rear picture of the first picture but here is a rear picture of a relation of his.

 

 

 

This picture is of a Cinnamon version of the other two.

 

 

If your looking for a hint they are in the standard and for a great many years they were in the wrong class until the genetics were worked out.

Darkwing.

With the new pictures I am going to go with a TCB, seems too simple but that is my answer :budgiedance: for now, how old is the bird? I don't see iris rings that is why I am asking.

I'm going to have a guess and say TCB with diffusion.

But I don't know much, just guessing so I can learn more. :budgiedance:

Another hint?

You know Sharon I think it's time you told us all what it is.

 

For what it's worth I think it may be an Australian Golden Face- but it's only a wild guess.

Renee that was a really wild guess but unfortunately wrong.

 

The bird is a Darkwing(sf) Dilute Light Green

 

I know some said Grey Green but I am not worried about anybody getting that wrong because of the quality of the picture.

 

For those who don't know what the Darkwing factor is. It is a dominant gene and so found in single or double factor form. Can be found incorporated into all budgie varieties but will not show up on all. The effect of the gene seems to halt the process of dilution of the melanin. On a Normal Green bird it does not show up at all. I bred these in Dilute Greens and Cinnamon Dilute Greens, occasional a blue series.

Gee, you can buy a budgie and never know what is really there!!!!!

 

Well done Kaz was that an educated guess or have you seen/had some experience with darkwings before?

No education at all nor experience with darkwings.....My thought were browning or darkwing as I was running out of ideas
