Here's one that I would imagine would be easy for you guys to help me out with. I haven't come across this mutation personally yet so I'm having trouble naming it... This is Bert, he came to me a couple of months ago and actually just passed away from a LARGE adrenal or kidney tumor (it was too large to tell which for sure) I was really sad to see him go (RIP Bert :( ) anyways he was such a beautiful budgie - but what is his mutation?

I'm thinking yellow face, clear flight, opaline? I could be way off though. Sorry for the funky pictures - he was very skittish and fainted if he was handled so I was trying to sneak pics of him.

Sorry I just now seen this Looks he's Yellow face type 2 Opaline clear flight pied - The type 2 yellow face gave him the sea green appearance :) Sorry he's passed away he was a beauty

iv looked at mom the rec pied female (green) and she has spangle markings on the bum and a little bit above at the base of the tail:eek::) (vary beautiful markings) and 2 of her kiddo's (green rec pieds) have the spangle markings to! how can this be?
got pics? I've never known a spangle to only have a small amount of markings they're not like a Pied where the markings vary, They're either showing spangle or they are not - they can not even be split to spangle.

He wasn't quite sea green like my other yellow-face type 2... she was a lot darker can that mutation be lighter and darker? Just curious :)

yes it can.. it really depends on how much of the yellow bleeds in with the blue

I had one she looked like she had a "V" neck shirt on (it never came out in pictures though) her top half was sea green a little darker then the pic you posted, then Where the point in the V started to the legs was a very light violet with a blue cast

in pictures she looked bright sea green almost florescent and Bright florescent blue lol with a bright yellow face

she had more of a Deep yellow face though in person

are her markings brown or Grey? I can't tell in the pic

If they're Grey - she's a Grey wing, if they're brown she's Cinnamon

what happened to her beak? she is missing a nice chunk out of it?

the one with Yellow on his head is a Yellow Face Sky blue Dominant Pied (the one on the right)
The one on the left is a Sky blue Dominant pied - are you saying he's the dad to the one on the right?? I hope these are older pics and these birds are older because they are BOTH babies in this picture not even a year old!

All such beautiful little guys! I don't have a clue how you keep track of all the mutations. I have a hard time understanding just the single lutino mutation of the Galahs...I can't move on to wrap my brain around more of them!:rofl:

Ok, whew Glad that these are the parents :)
the dad is a Yellow Face type 2 sky blue - the yellow face being type 2 bleeds into the body color, and makes a sky blue look sea green
and the mom defiantly looks light green cinnamon to me

There are a few different types of yellow face
Type 1 (or just plain yellow face) means the Yellow is primarily just on the face
type 2 - the yellow runs through the body color usually changing the body color - if its a sky blue bird it'll look Sea green

Golden face- is the face is a Deep Golden yellow color

the pic of this one, is a yellow face Grey wing Opaline and looks to be either mauve or cobalt blue and since this baby is a boy and Opaline(Opaline is sex linked) it means both his parents carry the Opaline gene - so his mom is Visually Opaline, if his dad isn't visually then he is split to it.

I thought I'd post a few pics of mine.
I think Matilda is a Violet Cobalt Dom. Pied. Can you tell about how old she may be?






I believe Puck is a Yellow face Type 2 Sky Blue Opaline? Can you tell if he's young? I honestly don't have a clue how old he is. I've had him for about 2 weeks now.





Isn't he a porker? :hehe:

Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. I researched budgie mutations a few years back but got busy and never got back to it. When I have more time, I'll review all your info and try to figure out what my budgies are (besides being cutie-pies)! :) (Keaton's a dark-eyed clear; Pudgie's an opaline mauve, I think, with a lot of grey amidst the blue; the others = ??) Having all this info here is so helpful, Kelli!

Christypooh, your Matilda is just stunning, in my opinion.
