Hi,

 

I have two male budgies of similar colours except one is a pied, I have a fair idea of mutations, but wanted second opinions? They both have yellow faces

 

Thanks!!

 

 

 

I will have a crack at this

 

one on the right Cobalt Dominant Pied Opaline, one next to it is a white spangle(not sure)?

 

bottom one is Yellow face Opaline Greywing

It can be hard to tell a bird's mutations from photos that don't show its back and wings. The top right bird seems to be a dominant pied yellow face mutant one sky blue. (Not opaline) The white one next to it is impossible to tell from that photo. Something with a diluted body and dark throat spots, though.

 

Bottom cock is a normal yellow face mutant two sky blue, with possible violet factor. (Not opaline or greywing)

Hey,

 

Thanks guys. the white hen is actually a lacewing - with the cinnamon wings

I'll see if I can get some better pictures of the birds

You know, I thought her throat spots looked cinnamon, but kind of hard to say for sure from that distance.

Hi, here are some more photos of my birds, also I have figured out how to edit them, I think to the proper size

 

Oh and I have added a better shot of the lacewing too!

 

 

 

 

 

So what do you think about the two males?

I'm keeping my two answers the same, except that for the normal cock, I still don't think he looks opaline, but I do see a little color on his wings, so maybe he is. Or else he has what is called "opalescence", which sometimes they have, even when they are not opaline.

Thanks everyone for their efforts
