Hey Guys,

 

I just got 2 baby budgies and was just curious as to what color they were as well as mutations.

 

I would really appreciate it for the help.

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im sorry but the pics you can not tell you need to take them in day light no flash

on the left: cobalt recessive pied

on the right: cobalt Opaline male

Heres a picture of them in natural light, no flash.

 

 

 

And one of my sky blue budgie next to one.

 

 

 

Do any of you have a picture of a cobalt, a mauve and a violet? Ive been reading the forums but they still look a lot alike to me. Thanks!

In the Violet you may have to look at the tail feathers, that might help you.

OH okay, then it is a Cobalt.

 

Does anyone have a picture of a violet and a mauve?

Here is my two mauves with two cobalts. I dont't have pictures of mauves with violet factor.

 

Here is a cobalt violet.

 

Each picture has been taken with a flash.

Thank you, I can see the difference now that they're next to each other.

 

 

 

So i was playing with my bird this afternoon and i took it outside to get a better look at its color, I noticed that its belly looks cobalt BUT its back as well as around its neck looks violet...? You can see a noticeable difference and its tail although mostly looks dark blue theres like a bit of park purple in there.. I took pictures, I'll try to post them in a bit, hopefully what im talking about shows on the picture. ..

 

Can the violet only show on certain places? ie around neck or back?

okay so the violet color didnt really come out as much, but hopefully you all can see what im talking about..

 

 

 

So all in all, compared to Ailes's cobalt and cobalt violet budgie, mine looks a lot more like the cobalt violet shade.

Thoughts?

I have a hen who looks exactly the same. I thought she was a violet, but now you have me questioning myself.

I think he is cobalt.

seeing the non flash they appear more violet.

 

used the WBO colour guide to look closer:

 

 

seems violet is a match

I wasnt so sure on colors because Im still new to trying to identify, but I was pretty sure it was violet after seeing the pictures that Ailes posted.

 

*Nerwen* thank you for mentioning the WBO color guide, it made me search up on what it is and its a really good resource to have handy. I will most definitely keep this saved and use it as a reference point for the future!

 

Thank you everyone who contributed!!
