Cobalt blue? I just want to ask because he is such a deep blue. It is hard with the camera to see what I see. With Pretty it was simpler. I am asking you think violet or mauve or simply a deep cobalt

 

Here is pretty close to what I can see.

 

 

 

Well he's not a mauve, i'm not sure whether he's cobalt or violet...

Yes I threw that out there but didn't think it either because he doesn't have the greyish blue look...so I was thinking just a deep colbat or violet possible?

Well, here's a baby violet (right):

And Blinkie (cobalt) as a baby:

I kinda think that the last picture of *insert name here* ( )he looks violet like Pat in the first picture...

I think he just might be a cobalt. But in that last one there is a touch of violet look.

He's got really dark cheek patches....does that mean anything?

the last picture is truest to his color

Here is another one that helps resemble his coloration

 

I still think the last picture in the first group is the best with his coloration though.

No he's not a colbalt, he's too dark. I'd say a double factor blue or a violet.

Daz, I think you are right looking at the pictures on this site his coloration is the same as the violet factor they talk about. http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_colors.html#violet In fact he looks like the first 2 that they show.

Is he cinammon Lovey? Or is that just the picture or the violet causing it?

that is just the picture, he has black marking - I see how the flash made a couple look brownish. Didn't notice that until you said it.

Hi Lovey!

 

I would say you have a Violet Budgie.

 

I have divulged the WBO (World Budgerigar Organization) colour guide in other posts because I find it a great help in the analysis of budgie colour:

When in doubt, you should take the colours and put them over a photo of your bird, like this:

 

 

This is easier to do in cases like this present one (normal budgies), but a bit more difficult in cases were you are trying to determine the colour of a variety where certain degrees of dilution are involved (like cinnamonwing or greywing varieties).

 

I’ve recently made such an analysis for Karen:

 

He's Moulted So Let's Try Again, what is he????

 

Best regards from Portugal! :beer:

oh that is cool, thank you

I have a female budgie that most of you described as a visual violet and some a sky violet. This is her and I think you, Lovey called her Vi. Looks the same colour as yours to me

Yep I remember Vi, and I thought of her when I saw him. They could be sibling.
