Pictures What color is our budgie?

[JaneLane]

The babies have grown up considerably! The oldest is now fully feathered and exploring food. The middle baby is almost as big as the eldest however his pin feathers have not opened fully, nonetheless some of the feathers are open and I cannot tell what ccolor he is. What color do you think he is I've never seen a budgie his color before.

Very beautiful

@PoukieBear always amazes me with her knowledge of budgie mutations.

 

[Fergus Mom]

I have no clue, but my guess would be that maybe the bright blue will continue to feather out, and he will be sky blue?
But @PoukieBear and @Budgiebonkers are amazing with mutations, as Zara said.

Morning!

Looks like this little one will be a Grey Opaline.

I'm sure you posted pics of the parents previously, but I can't seem to find them! Can you post parent's pics here for me? It's always easier seeing the whole package when trying to determine colours and genetics.

@Zara @Fergus Mom Thank you both very much, she does look a little blue on the belly sometimes but it is hard for me to tell.

@PoukieBear Good morning to you as well! I will post some pictures of the parents as well, this baby was a big surprise in regards to her coloration she doesn't look like either of her parents

 

[PoukieBear]

Oh right ! Now i remember seeing those pic.

So, because dad is a Grey Green Opaline, I'm going to stick with my original guess of the chick being a Grey Oplaine.

Hey!! That's what I was guessing! Gosh I feel so proud of myself....

 

[JaneLane]

@PoukieBear Thank you so much! I am happy to know what she is, she's very adorable.

Mother looks to possibly be carrying the violet gene... would love to see more pictures of the chick once fully feathered!
