Posted January 31, 200619 yr okay, here is how it works. I will start off by listing a budgie mutation and someone (whoever gets around to it first) has to find a photo of that mutation. Whoever gets it first can choose the next mutation that we have to hunt for. Don't worry about making it difficult. If you want to say normal green, go for it!! Just try not to use the same mutation more than once. (Though you can add an element: For instance, if someone has already picked Dominant Pied, feel free to choose Clearflight Dominant Pied.) You can be as specific or non specific as you want but keep in mind that some mutations can be hard to find! Feel free to use a search engine to find the photo you need. DO NOT POST THE PHOTO HERE! Only paste the URL and try and make sure the URL works. Be sure to preview your post! (This means less risk of oversized photos or posting up photos without permission from the owner.) If you're unsure of whether or not you got it right or what exactly to look for, state this in your post and someone will help you out! okay, the mutation I will start with is: Cobalt Dominant Pied (shouldn't be hard to find )
January 31, 200619 yr not sure if this is the colour cobalt http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/Rai.../BerryCloud.jpg
January 31, 200619 yr http://www.budgies.org/pics/images/patty/beaubig.jpg Well, gee it wasn't too easy to find a picture of a cobalt dominant. Recessives I had coming out of my ears, but dominants were HARD
January 31, 200619 yr NERWEN we NEED YOU... Violet Factor - If a budgie has a violet factor, you may or may not know it. True violet only shows up on cobalt budgies (white-based budgies with one dark factor) or, if double factor, on sky blue budgies(white-based budgies with no dark factor). It is very hard to tell if yellow-based budgies carry a violet factor. The violet usually darkens the green of the body feathers similarly to a dark factor. Sometimes, if you look closely, a violet tinge will be visible on the body feathers near the feet and vent of a green budgie with violet factor. Sky blue budgies with one violet factor will have a violet tinge, especially in the body feathers near the feet, and sometimes look darker than a normal sky blue. It is very difficult to detect violet factor in mauve budgies. Basic Genetics: Violet factor - semi-dominant Normal - recessive Details on violet factor genetics... http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_colors.html Also the bird that Lin posted is that an Opaline too?

January 31, 200619 yr No need to fret, we're only looking for visual characteristics. If it appears violet, you can post it as such. Though I have to admit that finding a violet recessive pied is going to be veeery hard so maybe we should choose something a little easier.
January 31, 200619 yr I have looked I have yet to find one Terri.... , but I am going to look again a little later, maybe we can find it in the English Vary easier?
January 31, 200619 yr I doubt it. It's hard to find good pictures of violets. They often turn out looking very cobalt-ish in photos. Let's put this one on the back burner and go with a new one to search for. Something fairly simple: Type One Yellowface Blue.
January 31, 200619 yr If we're going with type one Yellowface blue.. How about this little guy?? Yellowface Blue p.s....If I'm correct, the mutation I choose is (if I'm incorrect, just ignore me.. hehe ) Grey Opaline Spangled. Edited January 31, 200619 yr by Cheeta
January 31, 200619 yr 2nd column 3rd picture, http://chillyhollow.8m.com/pg3-rare.html Grey Opaline Spangle pictured with another bird how about... Yellow Faced Gray Type 1
January 31, 200619 yr If we're going with type one Yellowface blue.. How about this little guy?? Yellowface Blue p.s....If I'm correct, the mutation I choose is (if I'm incorrect, just ignore me.. hehe ) Grey Opaline Spangled. Maybe it's just me, but that looks type two to me. The blue looks kind of aqua marine in color; looks like the yellow came through in the body color. Could be my monitor but that's what I'm seeing. 2nd column 3rd picture, http://chillyhollow.8m.com/pg3-rare.htmlGrey Opaline Spangle pictured with another bird how about... Yellow Faced Gray Type 1 We need to be able to see the whole bird to make sure that the mutation is correct. There, we just have to go on the label. All we can tell is that the bird is grey but that's okay, we can move on. (I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that my game sucks!!)
January 31, 200619 yr Someone names a mutation, then we have to try to find an accurate photo of it. Whoever finds a proper photo gets to choose the next mutation.
January 31, 200619 yr (Laughing out loud) Terri, it was a good attempt to have fun and LEARN. I thought we could see the whole bird :hap:, in that picture. Anywhoo....just better rules in the next round. I still think it is a good game. Maybe better would be that you would link the picture and we would guess the mutuation , and then the next picture when it is guessed correctly. Edited January 31, 200619 yr by lovey
January 31, 200619 yr Yeah, I suppose that might work better. I just thought maybe this would be more fun. Oh well. :hap:
January 31, 200619 yr Aww don't give up. Lovely had it right, the bars on the birds head are pale like an opalines I would think that was enough for a pass. Yes I think the blue one was a type two as well. Yellowface type1 Grey: http://www.birds-online.de/meine_sittiche/...e/tethys_en.htm Find me a Cinnamon Blue (please show wings) Edited February 1, 200619 yr by Nerwen
January 31, 200619 yr okay, I looked and looked and the only one I could find with wings was on Terri's sight :hap:, does that count. www.budgietalk.com click under mutations and scroll down to cinnamon, and she shows a normal with a cinnamon blue is that the correct mutation? The other one is just the face with no wings, so I won't post By The Way just a quick question is this violet or colbot pied? http://www.budgies.org/pics/patty.html Edited January 31, 200619 yr by lovey
February 1, 200619 yr Yes that's the the type I want :sad: Pick another as to the other question it's bit hard to tell. Single factor violets look like a cobalt. But the check patches are very dark which I seem to remember is a possible sign of a bird being violet. Help at all ? (Laughing out loud)
February 1, 200619 yr Just asking because Lin put that down (she put recessive) I believe this is dominant but that is they only one I could find :sad:, would love to know. Normal Violet Mask (face) - white Body - deep violet color with black and white wavey striped wings and back. Tail Feathers - dark blueish black. Throat Spots - three black spots on each side Cheek Patches - purple http://www.budgies.org/info/colors/violet.html I know the above is OFF TOPIC :fear okay...next I am not sure how complicated you want this Terri...so I will go easy Albino Edited February 1, 200619 yr by lovey
February 1, 200619 yr Aww don't give up. Lovely had it right, the bars on the birds head are pale like an opalines I would think that was enough for a pass. Yes I think the blue one was a type two as well. Sorry it must be the flash. I have the bird at home, he's one of my new boys.. and he's blue, or at least he seems blue in sunlight anyway. Albino...
