What stunning birds, love the 'pic of the chic'. I think, realistically I would miss the beautiful red of the comb and wattles!! As is said in the link 'I wonder if they lay black eggs?'

Oh my - at first glance I thought it was an April Fool as the first picture looked like one of those garden ornaments! But my I never thought it possible! Could that happen in budgies? Someone I knew that used to be a budgie fancier was trying to breed the "black budgie" and I honestly thought it wouldn't be possible. Closest thing being this: 
But after seeing this....could it be? |

I love the purples and greens in the feathers, just stunning.

They are so black that they are iridescent. Beautiful! |

My two 'Blue' Orpingtons had those colours in them starlingqueen, Hezz. They were actually black and were stunning especially in the sunshine which seemed to catch the colours. |

My old girl Willow was black and white and her black feather shone in the sun too.

Most black birds do, I think. We have what are called metallic starlings; they can be almost any colour in the sun. |
