Hamming It Up Again

[Lady Jane]

This morning, Sunday, Murphy looked so proud of himself I had to take a photo.

 

[Fergus Mom]

Wow - he is just gorgeous! The coloring is so vivid. Are the mutations the same for English Budgies as they are for others? Does that make him a Cobalt?

What a handsome chap He's looking very regal!

 

[Lady Jane]

His mutation is violet spangles. You can see the violet well on his cere. The spangled areas are on the darker edges of the white wing feathers. He looked so different as a baby.

Mutations for English and American are pretty much the same. Notice he looks more blue when he was younger. The spangled budgies do not have the stand out cheek/throat spots.

I sent this photo to the breeder so he could see what his babies look like a year after he sells them.

I posted this photo on FB yesterday also. The number of responses this morning is over 300! Never did I realize he would be so popular here or there. I will have to tell him he is an internet star. Thanks again everyone.
