Posted July 4, 201212 yr okay so ive been arguing with my brother over my budgies mutaions,i say i got 2 mauve budgies, 1 yf skyblue spangle, and 1 sky blue cinnamon, and he says i have 2 grays, and 1 yf spangle, he agrees i got a skyblue cinnamon lol thanks, i got a picture of a gray mature male but that one isnt part of the argument (sorry about the picture quality, im not so good at taking pictures)
July 4, 201212 yr I may be wrong here and people feel free to correct me if I am, but the easiest way to tell the difference between grey budgies and mauve budgie if you do nto know the parents are the cheek patches. Your birds have blue cheek patches, so they are mauve. Your big mature grey (you can see him just in one picture) has grey cheek patches, so he is grey, not mauve. I agree with the you on the others.

I have 2 mauves that are brothers thats why it seems like i just took pictures of one of them
July 6, 201212 yr Author Yours are definitely grey. Grey cheek patches and black tail feathers. Yours are definitely grey. Grey cheek patches and black tail feathers. how can you be sure about that?
July 6, 201212 yr The two disputed birds are grey not mauve. A grey will have either grey or blue cheek patches and the main tail feathers will be black. A mauve will have violet cheek patches and the main tail feathers will be navy blue
July 6, 201212 yr also because your blue birds look skyblue doesnt mean they are....as they are cinnamon you imagine their colour at least twice the actual strength of colour you are seeing due to cinnamon reducing colour...chances are pretty high they are cinnamon cobalts of which I have a few
