Because they are didn’t mutations. White one is a recessive pied and the other is a sky normal

"Different mutations", Gaile meant to say. They are called throat spots.

ohhhh ok. they look so different when i have a close up like this. her eyes are much bigger and their colors are so totally different. They’re both pet shop budgies so I assumed they’d be the same only different colors.

Recessive pied don’t get the white ring around the black iris.

They’re both pet shop budgies so I assumed they’d be the same only different colors. They are, of course, the same species. But budgies come in many different genetic mutations these days. It just means, in their case, that their feathers are different colours and patterns. Occasionally they'll have either pink, grey or blue feet, sometimes they'll have an iris ring or not. Some will have a pink, darker blue, light blue, white, tan cere, which may or may not go crusty if they are a hen in breeding condition.

Your hen is a double factor reccesive pied, while your cock is skyblue normal! And she's also younger than him, considering of their eye ring!
