well his mutation is normal as in wing markings

their not really good pics though can you get one of him fully at frount

and one full back please

i got my thoughts

but not saying till im certain

I'll ask tommorrow for more pics. Is he some yellow face?

We do need more pics.

 

Hs looks opaline but his wing patters look normal.

 

he looks green but the blue rump area would indicate he is a YF or GF blue bird.

It is a single factor Goldenface Sky Blue. NO Opaline. Opalines show wing mirrors and this bird does not have them.

 

I really don't like the look of this bird. It just doesn't look like a very healthy bird. Maybe it was a runt of the clutch?

Thanks guys. It isn't my bird and it is sitting in a draft. I suggested for them to move it out, up higher. Poor thing is apparently overweight.

That bird needs a bigger flight cage. less perches and for the owners to reassess the content of its seed. If a standard mix with hulled oats the oats need to be removed from the seed mix.

That bird needs to FLY and exercise or it will get sick.

and a possibility it has a ruptured air sac maybe ?

I'll give her that advice........ she usually takes my advice very well. I have sent her an email. I've told her that there are good quality cages at permuans for $35 and I can lend her money if her parents don't think he needs a larger cage. If her parents don't agree I could board her budgie at my place to wean him onto vegies and excersize.

so i was right fat and a glodenface

draft kills

I know.. had a close shave with my birds and draft.

Does look like a chubby boy indeed. As far as the colour goes you guys have it sussed so I wont waddle into that
