Just was giving Mig a few snuggles and thought id take and post some more pictures of him for you..

This was the only way i could manage to take a picture of his belly to sort of show his colouring..

Peeking out..

This shot shows his wings and his nice white flight feathers :ausb:

If i was to label him, what would i call him? to me he is a yellow and white budgie with blue splodges

Maybe i should have asked this question in the genetics etc forum :budgiedance: Oh Bold and the Beautifuls on, better scoot

Cheers :beer:

Una

well I would call him a recessive pied sky blue and super cute cute cute!!

would you now Lovey??

 

Una he is a cutie.

would you now Lovey??

 

Una he is a cutie.

Umm well what would you call him then Nerwen? should i post him in the genetics section?

if you wish or i can move this for you :budgiedance:

 

I'll tell you soon just want lovey to look again and think about it.

He is rather sweet, i love how he has white splodges on him too in places :budgiedance:

*taps fingers... Hurry Up Lovey... :ausb: Im keen to know what he is...

Nerwen, I just love how you make me see detail and think about it. Thank you!!

 

but I am looking and looking and still thinking

 

1. recessive pied

2. double factor pied

3. Spangle pied (it looks like he may have some spangling on the coming in flight feather) but not sure if that mutation is possible

 

Give me a hint... :fear (Una I know it will drive you nuts but I LOVE to figure stuff out) :fear

I would say recessive pied too, so maybe Nerwen doesn't think sky blue? Do you use the main colour or the pied colour to name them?

Lin, you are right that is the direction she is taking me.

You can label them with coloring but if this is a yellow based bird then it can't be a sky blue - that would only be on a white based bird. Because yellow and blue make green . So hoping I am on the right track, it would be a yellow/green recessive pied????

your closer now Lovey At lest you have realised that the yellow on it means the first bit was wrong.

 

Your right with the recessive pied bit.

Ner ner ner ner nerrrrrrrrrr! I know what he isss heheee Just thought id share that much without giving too much away :(Laughing out loud):

okay, I think I need a hint....

 

Double factor Spangle???....but I don't see the iris ring???

Don't tell me...

Im not good at giving out hints so ill just sit back, keep watch and keep my mouth shut

I am leaving here for a couple hours so give me a hint.

 

Una...(Laughing out loud) I have gone through every color of the mutation.

The only thing I can see in the mutations that is sort of similar is fallow but they have red eyes, he doesn't look like he has red eyes and his rump is not diluted. Or possible opaline but that is a guess and if is right I wouldn't know why.

 

I'm I going to hit myself in the head when I figure it out

I have no idea, but can I ask what the black spots mean?

well I believe the spots are from the recessive pied gene :mellow:

Thanks! I will understand all this one day!

oh but don't take my word for it Lin, I can't figure out this budgie

(Laughing out loud) all the spots and colourings mean SQUAT to me too, the only reason i know what he is, is because i had a little visit from a PM Fairy thats the only reason i know what he is hahaaa

Oh you cheat Una! :(Laughing out loud):

How adorable.. he reminds me of Fourteen.. but his yellow is stronger.

(Laughing out loud) all the spots and colourings mean SQUAT to me too, the only reason i know what he is, is because i had a little visit from a PM Fairy thats the only reason i know what he is hahaaa

 

: :book: : :beer: :book: :
