Here are my latest additions to my flock. One adult and two babies. Advice on gender and mutations gratefully accepted.

 

Anne and Arbellla: Anne is the blue cinnamon and Arbella is a (??) Yellow faced blue spangle (???)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Essex is beautiful - he (I think) is white except that his body is the palest of mauve. Excuse my ignorance but I don't know what type of budgie he is.

 

 

 

I am delighted!!!

You have a lovely Normal blue hen

a yf2 sky cinnamon/greywing spangle hen and what appears to be a badly suffused DF spangle cock.

Thanks Libby - I know that in these photos the blue hen looks normal, but the patches and wings seem a lot more brown in real life. But given that her body colour is so dark does that preclude a cinnamon?

If she was cinnamon she'd have violet cheek patches and brown throat spots and wing markings

Ah!! I consider myself educated. As I said the markings on the wings and throat spots look chocolate brown to me in real life, but the cheek spots are blue so I must be deluding myself. Ah well, I still like her.

congrats on your new additions, they are very beautiful.

You have some nice pictures there, consider submitting one of them for June Budgie of the Month Competition .

Nice birds! I really like Arbella
