Hi! Hope you’re well. I’m not at all a budgie breeder or breeder of any sort, however, our budgie pair are having chicks, or will be. We didn’t intentionally breed them but they came to us as a bonded couple and about a month ago they started nesting and the mated a couple of times, so we gave...

Hi, hope whoever’s reading this is well. I absolutely adore genetics and recently got into budgie genetics as well. Just for the sake of my own interest, I’m very curious as to what mutations Jordy have. I learned that the cere colour could potentially also be different due to the mutation. I’m...

Hi, hope whoever’s reading this is well. I absolutely adore genetics and recently got into budgie genetics as well. Just for the sake of my own interest, I’m very curious as to what mutations Peetrie have. We recently found out that he’s a she and not a he, even though he‘s still being referred...

Hello! This is the first time I have ever used a forum before and I'm not super well-versed on parakeet anatomy so please be patient with me as I work this out! c: I have a budgie that I'm unsure of the mutation. I had assumed he was sort of standard green, but I noticed recently that the...

Wanted to share and get some info! I came across this budgie in a pet store and was baffled. I love the albino/ino mutations, but I've never seen one patterned like this. It had the red eyes and everything. A lot of its cage mates were lutinos and albinos. I wasn't sure if this was some sort of...

I'v always been curious about colorations, mutations, morphs and such with different animals, and was wondering what my Charlie is. Also, if anyone else has pictures and types of their birds they want to add, I would love to see them! :budge:

Hello :) I brought home a new friend today and if you couldn't tell I've never researched the different genetics and mutations of budgies. I was just curious what this little guy/girl has in him/her. If anyone could let me know it would be high appreciated. (I apologise if the photos aren't...

So I really don't know where to start. I got my beautiful baby budgie Yama about a month ago from a breeder that was recommended by a friend. This friend bought his previous budgies from this gentleman and was always happy with the budgies he received. Within the first few days I noticed that...

Hi guys. I thought I'd put this here in case anyone is confused on how to breed a basic rainbow budgie - that is, a bird such as this: And who's mother was this: The factors in producing a nice looking rainbow: - Opaline - Blue - Violet factor (optional but visually stunning) - Yellowface...

This is dad- a normal cobalt, split to ino and opaline. This is mum - yellow faced dominant pied. These two have produced albinos and creminos. The next three pictures are some of their offspring - all with red/ruby eyes. The first I initially thought was a female lacewing which I now believe...

Hi- Anyone else have a surprise color outcome?? Look at this pic: http://talkbudgies.com/photoplog/index.php?n=17433 Papa is Tim (Lower Left) Mama Lemonade (is on my avitar) Two Yellow Birds. There is a touch of pale green on Tim's Back We have 3 hatchlings. When the biggest and noisiest...

So have looked at the sticky threads and linked articles and they seem to cover everything I need but I think its always best to have a second opinion from you wonderful people. Being a student nurse I can grasp how genetics work and so forth but I would just like to know if you can verify the...

Please, what mutations are they? Ok i think Annabell is Opaline But what about my other babies Kiwi - He has a yellow spot on the back of his head. Could he have some kinda of pied in him? Sky - She has a little less blue now and there's two different blues, one a little bit darker than...

She's too young right now, by my recessive pied cinnamon mauve (Diamond) and my dilute cinnamon skyblue (Pepper) are bonded and I'm sure will one day be having babies. What possibilities would there be among the offspring?

I have my ideas but I just want to be certain. Here are the first two! And here are the other pair. The hens wing markings etc are a grey/brown colour, alot lighters than the cocks. Thanks!!

Hello :D A friend of mine wanted to know what colour/variety their budgies are... And also your predictions of what would he get if they mate :) Here you have the male on the left and female on the right... Male again... And female :p Thank you :)

HIIIIIII EVERYONE :p I spend many hours in Talk Budgies cause I just love it... I've come across a lot of different colours, even ones that I didn´t know it existed :speechless-smiley-0 I'm so confused and perplexed right now.. specially with all the "spangle, pied, opaline" and other...
