Posted May 15, 201114 yr Hi I was wondering what type of budgies I have Here is a pair, Male on the left, Female on the right This is their baby 'Lil' Ricky' Lil Ricky with his Dad Here is a photo of Lil Ricky with his cousin Victor I would love to know what type of birds I have and if it is possible to tell the gender of Lil Ricky and Victor from these photos?
May 15, 201114 yr I'll take a stab at it...though I'm not good with pieds The first pair are both YF's (Yellow Faces). The female a recessive pied and the male looks to be a combination pied. Lil' Ricky looks like a sky blue combination pied also, and is his dad the same cock as in the first photo? His cousin Victor looks like a YF Sky blue recessive pied. Anyway, those are my observations Feel free to correct me on this guys.
May 16, 201113 yr the parents are recessive pied the dad is a yellow face cobalt, the mom is a yellow face Sky blue looks like dad is a type 1 yellow face mom is a type 2 yellow face their baby is a Sky blue Recessive pied male Victor is a female and she's a Yf cobalt blue recessive pied - she looks to dark of blue to be sky blue But it could just be the picture are they standing on a piece of metal in the first couple of pictures??

May 16, 201113 yr Author Thanks for all the info! It's not metal that they are standing on, it's an old curtain rod made of timber that is painted.
May 16, 201113 yr the parents are recessive pied the dad is a yellow face cobalt, the mom is a yellow face Sky blue looks like dad is a type 1 yellow face mom is a type 2 yellow face Both have the yellow bleeding not their body feathers so they are both type 2, she could be a golden face as her yellow is quite dark. Who are Victor(ia)'s parents? her wings look dutch pied, could we get a shot of her front.
