Hi guys!

I am new to the budgie world until last week my partner bought home a very tame budgie that flew into his work.

Today I have bought 2 for company, and I rekon I will get more but I'd like to know what kind these are? I particularly like the pieds after doing some research on budgies online, and I think these may be pieds or something similar?

 

This is the boy

 

and here is the girl, she is actually white and purple....so violet recessive?

 

 

here is another photo to show her correct colouring!

Cock looks to me like a dominant pied, note the head marking. Opaline as well or is that just the position he is in.

Nice birds though, also are you gonna put up a FOUND notice up? It may be someone's lost budgie.

 

Love the hen she is gorgeous

quarantine i think you may need to look into it a bit if your going to add to your flock

or you may just lose them all

 

they are both pieds he is a remarkably beautiful boy a Opaline yf (if hes golden face his not finished molting could be still going to get more yellow suffusion through him and he will turn green ) he looks still around 4 to 5 months old im going to call him as a combination pied so possibly split rec pied (does look like a clear flighted but not many them around so ) you will find out if you breed him with the hen you chose as she is as you stated rec pied also a Opaline im guessing however cant fully see their backs so you should get rec pieds as well as dom pied chicks if hes split to rec pied all chicks will be Opaline if shes Opaline as well if not then she is not Opaline and their chicks will be all cocks split for Opaline, Opaline hens and normal hens

did you try find his true home ??? as he may be some small girls only much loved pet

but then i guess you have decided that you will be keeping him now regardless of if anyone's looking for him

after all he is beautiful and you brought him friends

 

you have the budgie bug now good luck with them all, hope no one is looking for him with hopes of him being re-nighted to them

Yeh we put found notices up at my partners work and he has been speaking with customers, with no luck. I have also responded to lost budgie notices online from around where we found him but nothing. I feel bad, keep thinking there is a kid out there probably crying over their lost budgie.....but not much more I can do He was starving hungry when we found him too so dunno how long he was out there for.

 

Unsure about the Opaline?...here are some more pics, dunno if they help. I'm also guessing he is young going but his newly blue beak thing.

 

 

 

these 2 pied's are my new ones. Here is the one we found, looks like the pet shop budgie

 

oh okay sorry i though was the pied you found as the way you posted pics them so you have not put them together and i suggest you do not

it looks like a mauve normal its not opaline the pied is

it dont look good so he should be handled last after feeding your other birds and 5 meters out of their range

seems to have signs of respiratory issues with the brown staining above cere THE BLUEY THING and he is by looks 5 to 6 months

keep him warm and put bit of citrus( lemon ) in his water just a squeeze for few days get is gut leavel back to norm after being free could have bally ache due to eatting what ever he could hes tad hunched sign of gut ache

yes i was wondering why he had brown above his beak and yes he had been sneezing but I have never had birds before, my partner has, well I had finches when I was a kid so im a real newb when it comes to budgies. I did have them all together for an hour or so but now I have my 2 new ones, the pieds, in an aviary and the one I found is in his own cage. He has seemed abit down the last week, i thought maybe he was depressed which is why I got him friends but maybe he is actually sick?? ...

sick is the more realistic choice vet visit would be good to make sure hes not carrying anything very bad things lurk outside our aviary doors

chlamydia is number one illness carried by many wild birds

vet check before he ever goes near your gorgeous birds would be really worth the money

Magnificent birds.
