Hi all,

 

I'm new to budgie raising, although we bred some in our aviary when I was a kid that was a long time ago.

I have a male that I adopted from my work at the RSPCA, I think he was under 1 year as since I brought him home his irises have gotten more obvious and his cere bluer.

 

I bought a young bird with fully black irises from a pet shop, they told me it was a female but now I'm not sure having looked up her color type. She is pale yellow, with an olive and blue patch on her back between her wings, and very pale blue bands on her head/neck. Her legs are pink/red. Her cere is dark pink, with no white around the nostrils. In some lights I can see purple and in other lights light brown! So I'd really appreciate any advice.

 

I'm actually not sure how to post an image.... I will try to find out...

Thanks,

Erin

Do you have any photos of her/his back this might help people see wing markings.

Hi, It looks like you have some sort of pied, can you post pics of back so we can see the full colouring?
