okay put it to me straight is this bird a good type of show budgie and also what mutation should i pair him with??

 

 

more photos after the weekend

he is nice, but i dont know if he is good for show... see what everyone else says

Grey opaline spangle. Normal spangles you show. opaline sangles rarely win over a normal spangle in the spangle class due to markings being part of the point score. Opaline spangles do not have the markings of spangles as per the STANDARD.

He is a nice bird.

so i should mate him with a spangle??so would any one like to see more pics?

He is a pretty nice example of a show budgie. Pairing him with another spangle will produce some double factor spangles, some spangles and some normals. Maybe because he is opaline spangle aiming for double factors is better. Adding cinnamon and oplaine into a double factor spangle line reduces the suffusion that can sometimes crop up in DF spangles.

 

I would look for a hen with a good depth of mask.

I like the bird, I agree with Nubbly, double factors are the way to go, his opalesence will reduce suffusion in the double factors wing markings. Put him to either a double or single factor spangle and you'll go well with him Good luck!!
