Posted June 14, 201014 yr Hi all only second time on, say hi to sonny bill, a friend for my charlie brown. I have been told he is a he can you confirm this for me please also what kind of budgie he is. He is very young & shy. Thankyou.
June 14, 201014 yr Well being only a pet owner of one budgie I cant offer any answers to your questions but I'm sure someone will. But I can say that Sonny Bill is a little cutie pie :rofl:
June 15, 201014 yr Hi Judydun, pics are a bit small to see him clearly. Are both pictures of the same bird? larger picture it looks male but can't tell about his genetics.
June 15, 201014 yr First photo looks like he has yellow on his head... on my computer anyway. Could be a Yellow Face Double Factor Spangle
June 15, 201014 yr i say it has YF yellow face but what is dark factor spangle????? an d what a cutie!!! it does look like a babay Edited June 15, 201014 yr by alpaca-boy
June 15, 201014 yr Congrats! They look very cute! Hope you have great memories with them! Above their beak if it's a boy it will be blue . If it's a girl it will be pink above it's beak. Edited June 15, 201014 yr by Holden012
June 15, 201014 yr Congrats! They look very cute! Hope you have great memories with them! Above their beak if it's a boy it will be blue . If it's a girl it will be pink above it's beak. Wrong- boys are pink when young and females are blue with a white overcast. As adults males are a solid blue or pink and females are brown or blue with the white overcast when not in breeding condition.
June 17, 201014 yr Author Hi all again, firstly must fix up spelling miss hap, Sonny Bill is Sunny Bill, sorry. Here is some more pics, hope better ones for you to confirm Male as I was told and what kind? He is really young & still very shy. Thanks.
June 17, 201014 yr He is a HE and is yellowface...........what colour eyes does he have ? If red he would be a yellowface white albino....also known as a creamino. If eyes are black he would be a yellowface double factor white spangle Pictures on here are allowed to be 640 by 480 :nest: Edited June 17, 201014 yr by KAZ

PS: JUDYDUN your bird is adorable!!! love the colour Somebody please correct me. A DF spangle is an all white or all yellow bird, black eyes with iris ring. You can breed a DF spangle from 2x SF spangles.
June 18, 201014 yr A df spangle is a double factor spangle. A normal spangle is a single factor. The df gene in spangles as I understand reverses the markings. A df spangle can be bred from two sf spangles, a df and an sf and two df's. Hopefully someone else can put some light on the subject.

Wrong- boys are pink when young and females are blue with a white overcast. As adults males are a solid blue or pink and females are brown or blue with the white overcast when not in breeding condition. Not quite............when young the blue with white generally doesnt appear till later at around 3-4 months. When young a females cere is mostly white
June 18, 201014 yr When young I meant just young, not a specific age group. I know you did sweetie......it just needed a little clarification for those that dont know these things
