Hi all

 

i was wondering if you could help me in classifying the mutations of this budgie

 

is it a light green?

i thought it was spangle but then i realised its yellow is where it is supposed to be

(on the rim of the feathers, like normal budgies)

 

and then i realised the green is where the black is supposed to be!

and i though hmm doesnt opaline only replace the colour on the rims of the feathers?

 

so how can this be possilbe, what mutations are they?

 

can someone please explain

 

 

 

thanks grant

Not spangle, not opaline. Possibly greywing

The green goes into their wings as they moult and get older. Your bird looks a bit fluffed up me to me. His eyes don't look bright. Is he sick.Do you have another photo where is isn't fluffed up.I thought that too Kaz, but I thought with my bad eyes very bad marked spangle. He could be clearwing heavily marked, can't see his tail though.

Yes he could but he isnt a spangle opaline or otherwise.

here are more pictures ...

 

here he is at one month

 

 

 

here he is at one and a half months

 

 

here he is at 3 years old- where his wing markings have reversed the tips going from green to yellow

and the main part going from yellow to green????

 

 

how is this possible?

Looks pretty much like a clearwing to me.

I reckon you are right too

It's a Clearwing Light Green.

I'm sorry to bring this up but I was surfing the web and found that picture. Didn't the bird die? Sorry again.
