I just introduced Max in Bringing Home a New Budgie. I'm just wondering what is his mutation is? He has a yellow face, yellow pied spot, and has a beautiful grey belly with a little grey green colour near his tail.

 

I think you have a yellow face type 2 Mauve. Or maybe a goldenface.

 

Since his cheek spots are blue he can't be a grey, they have grey patches too, or greyish blue. So the next one is mauve which is a blue with two dark factors.

 

he is stunning Even if he isn't spangle.

I didn't know you had a new bird. He's a cutie.. Mauve is one of my favorite colors. I love him.

Does that make my fluffy a mauve too ?

Type 2 yellowface grey pied. I don't think mauve, mauve is more of a greyish-purple and won't have the greenish feathers.

 

budgiebird, I think fluffy is a grey.

he's not pied, no pied patch(that I can see) on the back of the head nor does he have recessive pied markings, looks like he's going through a molt, thats probly what made you think pied?

Yeah I can't see any pied marks, the greenish colouring in his feathers is from the yellowface gene ( what is making him type 2, or goldenface)

 

Fluffy is a grey her patches are the grey-blue I spoke of.

Max definately has a pied spot - I'll get a picture in the morning. He basically had a twin at the petstore - same colouring with just the small pied spot. But no banding at all on the tummy.

I think Fluffy is a yellow faced blue grey with the grey being dominant.

 

I think that Max is a yellow face blue grey as well.

 

Here is Angel a normal Blue grey.

you have to remember both of these birds will look a bit different than a normal white faced bird becuase of the yellow that bleeds into the body.

 

Daz what are you meaning a Blue grey?? To get the grey colour of a bird you need the blue gene as well or else you have a grey green.

I've always believed Angel is a mauve.

I believe you are correct in the mauve Nerwen as Rocky has been described as a mauve cinnamon and here he is looking just like the picture of the bird Daz posted .....also Fluffy is neither mauve nor a blue grey

PS sorry Shawna about the side subject here.

Edited May 3, 200619 yr by budgiebird

Well It was when I saw angel that I really knew/felt she was mauve. Daz was lucky I didn't try and hide her in my hair

Thats Lin's job

She would probibly given a hair cut by the time you got to the car You could be right with Angel being a double factor blue. (mauve). this is where my colour blindness comes in.

 

 

 

Grey on a blue bird is Grey. Grey on a green bird is grey green.

 

Base colour of blue is white and the base colour of green is yellow.

 

Normal - Mauve

 

Cheek Patches are Violet

Tail Quill is Black

Tail Feather is Very Dark Blue with Black Sheen

 

Does this help... I would say Yellow face as I can't see the bleed from the mask to the chest.

Are you really colour blind Daz ??? or just joking ? My brother is colour blind and still swears that dogs and horses are mostly green. He shopped for clothes for his kids once........OMG and he picks the weirdest colour cars than NOONE else would have

I was diagniosed as a kid with Blue Green Blindness. I can see colours but some shades look the same. I have problems with Reds and Browns and fawn colours... Don't ask me to pick a colours for painting the house.

Shawna you didn't (Laughing out loud) he is gorgeous, Merlin is the same way no one would know he was a pied if you didn't see the back of his head (Laughing out loud)

Shawna he is gorgeous!! I love the yellow face, man I hope I can find another one with a yellow face. They are one of my favorite mutations!! I love him!

 

So that means that "Skeeter" is a normal mauve right.

budgiebird, I think fluffy is a grey.

 

he's not pied, no pied patch(that I can see) on the back of the head nor does he have recessive pied markings, looks like he's going through a molt, thats probly what made you think pied?

 

Here is his little spot. Oh, he is just so cute!!!!

 

Shawna you didn't (Laughing out loud) he is gorgeous, Merlin is the same way no one would know he was a pied if you didn't see the back of his head (Laughing out loud)

 

Yeah, I did. I left the store, went out for dinner, and just had to go back and get him. Finger's crossed that he will tame really well - so far so good.

 

Grey on a blue bird is Grey. Grey on a green bird is grey green.

 

okay I thought you where meaning a normal grey with your 'blue grey'

 

My aunt is completly colour blind.

 

yes Skeeter looks mauve too.

No - the first line is what I think Max is. I was just referring to Fluffy because you asked if he were mauve. I know Fluffy is not pied. I was not very specific, was I? Plus, Fluffy's cheek patch looks light blue-grey to me, not just blue. On my monitor, it matches with the grey coloring.
