Posted November 30, 200915 yr This is Tiger, and although I believe he must be a Texas Clearbody with a bit of English Budgie mixed in, I'm not convinced he isn't carrying other mutations as well such as grey, violet, dark factor or maybe even cinnamon (top of his head is tinged tan, and he has some tan-ish wing feathers. I've studied budgie genes in depth, but these things still stump me so I'm here asking for your help. What mutation in total do you think he is? Looking at his chest with the naked eye it appears light grey. In photographs with flash, it seems to carry more of a blue tint. Thanks for any help! Barb
November 30, 200915 yr I don't know enough about budgie genetics but I just wanted to say he's a gorgeous bird....such delightful colouring. The people on this forum know SO much about budgies so I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

I just adore him, and he has the most fabulous, docile personality to match his beautiful coloring! Thank you again
November 30, 200915 yr He is a blue series texas clearbody for sure. Cinnamon NO.......he has rubbed his head on something...that is not part of his natural colour. Edited November 30, 200915 yr by KAZ
November 30, 200915 yr What a cutie! Violet Skyblue Texas Clearbody is what I think (but the flash photo's may have tricked me into saying violet).
