Hi, please tell me what variety etc Peanut is! I've been reading up a little & i think he's a yellowface, cobalt (maybe- still very young!), greywing?? His flight feathers are white.

 

 

The 1st photo is without flash, the 2nd one is with flash but the only one I currently have that shows his back.

 

Thanks!

He's a Cobalt Yellowface type 2 Spangle. And very cute by the way.

Yeah I would agree with Jen144 but I can never tell between YF1 and YF2...

Agree He's a Yf2 cobalt spangle.

 

 

by the way, since you've already clipped all except his last primary flight feather on both wings I'd suggest you take that off also. Leaving it there may cause too much strain and discomfort on the singular feather taking the brunt of the pressure on each wing. He'll be fine without it :mallet: it also has a chance of snapping which could mean a very painful blood feather for him.

I'd be more inclined to think violet sky blue YF2 spangle male.

 

The picture without flash looks violet, the picture with flash looks more like sky blue's vibrancy, plus he lacks the ribbing of a cobalt. Cobalt birds have a faint whitish edging to their feathers that gives them a sort of 'fish scale' appearance. His feathering is that of a sky blue, as is the vibrancy. I would think the depth of colour is due to a violet factor.

I thought sky blue when I first looked.....

I agree with Dean...its a YF sky violet spangle.

Agree He's a Yf2 cobalt spangle.

Thanks Libby, he did actually have a few flight feathers left on each side but i have had them clipped today because he was still flying amazingly well, & high! Now he's doing what the vet called "controlled falling" (but i prefer to call it "falling with style" ) & is already much happier to jump onto a finger to help him get around! I will only be having him clipped this one time, to help with taming.
