would anyone be able to show me what a brownwing budgie looks like

i have seen RIPs signature with a baby one and what it was and want to see a older one so far no luck

Do you mean cinnamon wing?

If so here's a few off mine.

 

 

This is a young one

No Jodie there is actually a brownwing, I am not sure if anyone here has one, I will pull up a site that has them and post itHere you go http://didiermervilde.bestofbreeds.net/did...dbudgerigar.htmit is different then cinnamon, it is considered recessive and can be affected by dark factors.

RIP Budgies used to breed them.

Apparently ANBC has just sent to state zone secs an info pack for judges and members on Brownwings written by Don Burke (including a DVD filmed by Mario Capaso). If and when I come across it I'll post some more info. Other people might like to keep an eye out for it.

A friend of mine has some, and they are initially hard to distinguish from the cinnamon wing, but when you sit two next to each other, you can see the difference.

 

RIPBudgies sent me some info the other day. I will post in on here when I get home, if it alright with her.

Yeah dave go right ahead and thanks for aknowledging the source. Thanks Kaz for posting the links to my page on Brownwings.

 

As far as them becoming a class I reckon personally it won't be easy drawing up a standard. I did breed them for a few years prior to leaving the hobby but did not do sufficient pairings with dark fator birds. The birds I orignally had were Grey Green in double factor and it was hard enough just getting birds without the grey factor so I could then see effects on the other body colour range of birds. I did eventually breed a couple of Sky Blues and a hen that although was a Brownwing did not show the brown markings, she appeared more black.

 

One of the main ways to distingish is the eye. When hatched they are red and they do fade like a cinnamon but if you look closely they will appear a deep plum colour. The iris at first glance appears to me missing but is in fact present but is not a nice bright white like in other mutations but rather a brownish white, non-distinct you might say.

 

My plan is to try at some point to obtain some Brownwings and hopefully continue with my research.

backing up what she has written here, this is what RIPBudgies sent me when I enquired about them

 

Main differences are the wing markings in Brownwings tend to be more of a grey brown colour. Brownwings are born with red eyes like Inos and they do darken but if you look into their eyes when an adult you will see a dark reddish colour. The iris ring never fully developes instead although there is more a pale browish colour. They have pink feet and body colour from memory is reduced.

 

 

Thanks again for the info RIPBudgies.

cinnamon grey...full photos will help.

The whole bird not a closeup. We already know its a cinnamon grey. Seeing the whole bird will tell if opaline or normal cinnamon grey.
