I need to know what Cinder was, and Kyra (his daughter) is. I recently got a Mauve budgie, and I noticed her colouring is majorly different to Cinder and Kyra's. Lakia's (the new Mauve girl) colour is a dark blue..While Kyra's has a few lighter blue and a lot of very dark grey/blue feathers. Could she possible be Slate, or some sort of Violet Grey, or just a different shade of Mauve? What causes the difference in their colouring? I've looked Slate up and it seems it is sex-linked, which makes sense, considering all of Cinder's daughters were his colour.

Here are some pictures of the birds I am asking about.

 

This was Cinder, the father of Kyra. What colour was he?

 

This is Kyra, what colour is she?

 

And this is Lakia. Notice the difference in colour/shade between her and Kyra..Why is that?

 

 

Please reply soon.

 

Apologies for the many many pictures, had to show clearly what I was asking.

 

All mauves....mauve is one of those colours that comes in many variations.

Fair enough. Thanks.

yep just as cobalts can come in slightly different shades
