Feather texture and other info

[Budgiefeets]

I have a question about our budgie again.

Its a female with green belly and yellow wings

On her neck or further up close to the top of her head there is some yellow feathers that dosent blend in with the

usual green pattern. Like they dosent match but looks cute:)

Will she eventualy loose these feathers and grow a normal pattern ?

Since its a baby still.

Is that normal for a budgie to have off colours.

Like her mom was green and father was yellow we guess

Budgies can come in all sorts of mutations so they can really be quite varied in appearance. I had an opaline budgie that had what I called splodges of colour in slightly strange places. If you can post a photo of your bird, from the front and one from the back people might be able to shed some light on her genetics and whether she might change.

The thread below about Chaz the budgie has an astounding feather transformation if you check out the photos. Most birds wont change to that degree when they moult though!

Can you post some pictures - head, belly and back/wings in the pictures would help. There are some members here knowledgeable about genetics and I think they might give you the best idea of her future coloring.

Allright tomorrow evening after work i will try and take some pictures

I wonder if she’s a pied. They have a patch on the back of their heads which is different. 

is it like this?

Yes that is exactly how it is !!  what is a pied? sorry in from denmark

[ffiscool]

that's good as nothing to worry about. It is just a different type/strain. you will see lots of references to maybe lutino, double factor this or that. Recessive pied, pied..

Here she is.
And playing on the playground that is a bit out of shape, but it was like this when we bought it.
So we addet some other toys to it. She likes to bite or shred wood and explore.
She dosent seems to be scared of stuff.

She's so cute! Now you know - the patch of color is normal for her. She also sounds like a normal feisty hen, chewing and shredding everything. Make sure she always has something to chew and shred or she'll start chewing your picture frames and furniture (I'm not joking)!

She is cute! I love her yellow head patch!

Looks like she will make a great friend.

[Budgiefeets]

Thx

She is very athletic.
Did you notice the uneven sling om the playground XD
But she dosent use that at all. Its more fun to shred that huge toy

Sometimes we can kiss her on the belly and get away with it and other times we
get a bite mark on our nose haha After she bites me then she licks or taste my face
and sometimes she puts her littel foot on my nose like she want to climb my face

[ffiscool]

Aww very cute

[blueelephant]

She sounds like a little sweetheart.

My budgie Barney liked to land on noses when we first got him and then climb up your face 😂. Not very comfortable! Thankfully he has now worked out better landing spots!
