Hello Everyone,

 

I’ve been a lurker on this list for some time. I’ve always enjoyed my budgies for their colors and personalities, but am now interested in learning what types of budgies I have. Here are links to pictures of my gang and my guess to their variety. Though I’ve had budgies for years, I’m new to the genetics side of all of this and feel like my head is about to explode from the effort. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

 

Aleta

Pretty Bird

Aolani

Here are some back shots to help with identification.

Hope this isn’t too long or too many photos. 10 budgies doesn’t seem like that many until you try posting photos and descriptions. Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the boards, your birds are beautiful. I love your newest one she is so pretty. As far as genetics, I am learning too...just wanted to say HI.

:(Laughing out loud): I blinked a bit at the list, but it's not to much

 

Aleta - lutino (removed the second http// to make it work)

 

Adenydd- Is he young? he looks like a yellowface type 1 opaline and possible donimant pied.

 

Pretty Bird- yellowface type 1 possible grey wing cock. If he is mre purple then he could be single factore violet which look like cobalts.

 

Aolani- This one is a bit fuzy to see. I would say sky blue recessive pied. The spots on the wings don't like light enough to be any sort of dilute and i don't see any yellow on him.

 

Sun- Green dominant pied. Is the feahers on the head alway sticking up?

 

Skye- yellowface type 2 opaline clearwing

 

Phoebe- looks like he had a yellow face mask in the picture, is it the same in real life? If so Yellow face type 1 domainant pied. If not then Cobalt dominant pied.

 

Jaleh- yep normal sky blue.

 

Quetzalcoatl- Opaline green.

 

Liadan- I would thing Mauve as well.

 

You did good for saying your new to genetics.

Beautiful budgies.. How do you handle having that many birds? I have 3 now and that's getting pretty crazy. I'm think that Pretty Boy is begging to come and live with me.

im still a bigginer but i did recognize a few like the lintino i have a lintino

Hi! I just had to say your birds are very pretty.

 

Oh, LOL, and that 10 budgies isn't too many.
