Hi guys! New budgie owner, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I had thought that Pippin was a normal sky blue when I got him. However, after his baby molt, his feathers on his back and the top of his tail have turned kind of a teal or dark blue/green. Is this just his particular version of sky blue or is there some mutation in there??

My sky blue normal has a green tinge to him as well, he's a year old.

I would say this was a common thing

Thanks Kat! I tried researching, but couldn't find any helpful information.

hehe no worries

He is soooo gorgeous! Wow!

I'd say it's normal as well. (: Very beautiful birdie!

Normal sky blue for me also.

I agree, looks like a normal sky blue to me. They can have a turquoise look to them in the right light sometimes

I've been trying to find a photo of my Ares..



This is the only one i can really find that shows up his 'green' tinges on the ends of his feathers etc

It looks pretty awesome in the right light, especially across the V part of his neck/back. Almost 'two tone', can't see it all that well since i used my flash but still, it helps my 'point' lol

Yes, Pippin is a Sky Blue Normal, he's beautiful!
