Hi everyone,

 

I just picked this little boy (I think) from the local petshop & I have no idea what his mutation is, any ideas?

 

 

Yellowface or golden face skyblue opaline spangle FEMALE.

I agree. YF or golden face, Sky Opaline Spangle Hen. Very pretty too.

 

Quarantine??

managed to get another cere picture. White around nostrils is girl isn't it?

I will get it right eventually!

 

Liv & Kaz, yes she is in quarantine, with 4 others i got at the same time.

 

She's gorgeous! I'm hoping to breed one like that someday

I do not agree with the white nostrils theory...nostrils only info can be deceiving. Basically any white on a budgies cere is female...thats the easiest way to look at it.

She is absolutely gorgeous! You must be thrilled with her...I know I would be!

I agree with Kaz. I have a couple of boys who have pinky ceres with no white on them, but a lot of times, say in the early morning or when they get stressed out, they will show pale rings around their nostrils. This doesn't make them girls. But it does confuse me, because I've heard the "nostril theory" so much.

 

Your girl seems to have white around the nostrils, BUT, if you look closely, there is also white at the bottom of her cere. In fact, if you try to imagine it as her having a completely white cere, with a blush of blue on the lower half, it may give you a better idea of what to look for.

 

By the way, I like the pied boy next to her. Can we see the other three?
