Pictures Gorgeous baby budgie

[Mariah Hughes]

Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce baby Solstice, a one month old budgie that I've bred. He or she has a mother that is a yellow face violet spangle half English budgie. I believe the father of this baby is my grey spangle English budgie, as her bonded mate does not carry the genes to produce a baby that is this color... I think. He is a yellow face spangle greywing. What mutation do you think Solstice is? I think greywing grey or dilute grey? These photos are unedited in natural light and he / she is one month old. Her mom is budgie in the background

Also a note - he or she has grey cheek spots!

I know nothing about budgie mutations, but I wanted to say that Solstice is absolutely gorgeous! I love her name.

Thank you so much! She was our first baby, born on the day of the solstice. She has a sibling that was born on christmas and twin siblings born on new years day!

This is supposed to be "dad". Am I right to suspect he isn't actually the dad of this baby?

The chick is not spangled at all its a greywing opaline

Oh OK thank you! I think I was confusing spangle with opaline.. I think mom is opaline as well.

Is he a greywing opaline grey? The grey cheek patches are what's throwing me off!
