I would also like to know the colors, please.

Is the blue budgie going to turn green when it is older?

How would I expect the yellow one to mature?

 

I will only be keeping one of these three, assuming one is a male.

Thank you so much!

The white one and the yellow rec pied look male, and the other one looks female. Could be just the computer though.

Yellow one is a YF type 2 recessive pied cobalt blue and I am going to say male

 

White one is an opaline sky blue recessive pied and I am going to say female

 

The blue one is an opaline YF type 2 cobalt and I am going to say female.

 

The YF hen will most probably end up a green looking bird. You can already see some of the yellow washing through the blue, giving a green appearance.

 

I have to say, I am not sure why you have 3 birds. It would be much better, space willing, to have an even number, as this means they can pair up. Not for breeding, but rather for things such as company, for feeding and preening each other, and the like. With an unever number, someone is always left out of a pair, and that usually leads to squabbling and fighting. In my opinion, it is rare that this does NOT happen.

If you're only keeping one, looks like the little yellow rec pied is your new baby . Have they had their wing clipped?Or looks like they might have french moult.

I agree with Dave and if you want a male the recessive pied is it as the other two look female.

Yellow is the only one i would put my money on to be male.

i agree the yellow rec. pied is male the other two are female

Thank you all. The yellow is my new baby. I have his cages ready to go and will get him "installed" today.Although I haven't forgotten dear Michael, I'm quite excited about my new little guy! I look forward to all the possibilities and the relationship we'll have!You all are great!

Dave -- I am only looking to keep one male bird for a companion to myself. I took photos of these three, because I wished to see if perhaps one of them would be male.Thank you for all the information, and your concern for their welfare

I'd say the white recessive pied is also a greywing. And agree the yf2 rec pied is a male and the others are females.
