What Colour/mutations Are My Budgies?

Featured Replies

Posted

I recently purchased two budgies. One male, and one I was told is female(she's young). I was just wondering what the correct term for their colours are, I've been calling them 'blue' and 'yellow' :P

The yellow also has a bit of green on her belly.

 

If they were to breed later on, can anyone give me a rough idea of what colours they'd produce?

 

Thanks :)

Beautiful budgies.

Can't help you with expectations there but I think the male may be blue spangle and I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here by saying blue spangle clearwing.

 

Your other budgie is recessive pied. From the picture, yeah he/she is young as the black bands on her head are still close down her face. Adults black head bands are further back like your males. To me, pied budgies are hard to sex. Other more experienced people on this forum should know, but for now a closer picture of the cere (or nose) would be good.

 

Any names yet?

Blue spangle ( not clearwing )

 

dominant pied is the other ( not recessive )

Lol, forgot about the head and green showing.

Sorry everyone, error!

But I am only human:)
