That's a brilliant idea. I'll just go and do some research, because somehow I don't think 'yellow budgie' will get me top marks (Laughing out loud)

(Laughing out loud) I'll give you half cedit any way Lin

Thanks Nerwen! I'm still researching. When you put up the correct answers (I feel like I should call you Miss, now (Laughing out loud)) will you explain your reasoning behind it? That's even if we get them right, just so we know what we should be looking for.

My reasons is simply becuase that is the colour listed to them. I know I'm not advanced enough to point out why that one is so and so and not such and such.

ooh..everytime I am on this part of the forum, I feel dizzy...

okay, I'm not too good @ this... but why not give it a shot?

(l-r)

1st budgie: dominat pied olive green

2nd: normal light green

3rd: dominant pied cobalt

4th: absolutely no clue... possibly a reccessive pied olive green clearwing?

5th: normal olive green

 

Ummm... there's my guess

that the whole point of the topic Jess to have a go

As i stated at the start, "And even to see how close experts can get with just a picture"

So go for it both of you

I just won't look at your answers! Started researching last night, but I got sidetracked (as usual, isn't the internet a time waster? (Laughing out loud)) Will try again tonight

(L to R)

I'd say:

1- Grey green opaline pied

2- light green

3- pied sky, or maybe a violet (the colors look faded)

4- Don't see the back of this bird but i'll say grey green cinnamon opaline

5- and a grey green

 

im with pass only one i had trouble with was no 4

1- olive green opaline pied

2- normal green

3- dominant pied cobalt

4- don't know? What's with the brown tail?

5- normal grey green

Hi nerwen,

When do we find out the answers I just can't wait.

I would agree with hath, and pass on this one but ,

Number 4 is some kind of cinnamon grey green.

GILL,

answers are here.

 

left the right

1. Olive Austrain pied

2. normal green

3. cobalt pied

4. yellow green (I think it may be opaline too but it's not listed as that)

5.Olive Green normal.

Ahh now here comes the tricky part is the fault that the author or the picture? either from the scan or the printing??

 

I have never heard of a yellow green by the way.

I swear you posted once telling someone their bird was a yellowgreen maybe i was mistaken with that.

 

edit- wow what luck I found it in my first hit I was wrong you said a grey-yellow Here I was thinking I would be goin gmad tring to find this one post.

I just want to know about number 3 please!

I am reading and it says, "Clearflights, these are the same as the normal varieties except that their flights, tail and head spot are clear and their body colour is solid all through."

I know it is a pied, this is were I am getting confused!

In this book I can see pieds but they don't call them pieds. So is that explanation corect or is it just old??

Clearflight simply mean the flight feathers on the wing have no markings. I lot of dominant pieds are like that.

You know that If had a guess I would have been 100% wrong But i'd try

 

 

You guys are good :dbb1:
