English budgie

[LealGabby9]

Does this look like an English budgie? Breeder said it is but just getting opinions. Still very young so not sure if it’s too little to tell

That is an English budgie - or those are tiny hands lol

 

[LealGabby9]

I did not know how to tell lol is there a big size difference than a regular American baby budgie?

 

[LealGabby9]

I think this baby is going on 4-5 weeks

 

[Ripshod]

English budgies are a lot bigger, almost twice the weight. Looks like a little cutie too. 4-5 weeks, definitely an English.

Mine are probably only part English, but they're noticeably larger than a regular pet store budgie.

Here's a photo from Google to show the size difference:


Kiwi and Blizzard are the size of English budgies, but lack the huge amounts of floof, here's a photo of them:

Woah never knew there was that much of a difference are the personality the same or are English budgies more chilled.

English budgies are calmer and less flighty than regular budgies, but they're often more prone to health problems bacuse they're often bred for their large size and not for health.

They look so cute especially the shape of thier heads.

They can be super fluffy, I agree that it is very cute

I think I will have to consider getting some in the future.

I'm starting university this and do really want some other birds in the bird room so my bird feels like he has a flock when I'm not there although hes very independent.

When do they start getting all poofy on the head? What age

 

[Lady Jane]

Yes that is an English head.

After their first molt (3 months), the real floofiness begins, but pure English budgies like the one you're getting, are already noticeably more puffy than a regular budgie.

Your budgie is gorgeous! Will you post more photos once you bring him/her home?

 

[LealGabby9]

Do you think the one I’m getting looks floofy already? I ask because I’m not familiar with budgies this little and how they look I hope she’s extra poofy though!! The breeder told me she’s full breed English budgie so I’m hoping so! And thank you!! Yes I will definitely post pictures!

This is a regular budgie chick, you can see the difference in head shape and feather length:
