Barney is gorgeous. tweetiepiesmom I thought of Tweetie Pie as soon as I saw the photos. Well done for collecting him blueelephant. Did he enjoy the car journey? Marianne Marlow I think he'd be a lovely addition to your flock.

He was fine in the car. Once I'd stopped after 100m and removed all the swinging toys and bells that were flapping about 🤣
He was covered with the rather lovely crochet blanket which was great as it lets the light in but stops the view of all the scary things flying overhead really fast.

Barney update: Looking very handsome this afternoon. Also not bouncing round the cage like a pinball. Seems much more content.

Barney is so cute. I'm glad he's a lot calmer now

He's stunning! Such a sweet little face.
It might be the lighting, but from that photo I'd be tempted to hazard a guess at a single factor violet skyblue, because the body colour looks similar to Indie's

Kind of a mix between Hector and Blueboy

Very handsome, Barney!
An earlier pic had Barney looking cobalt to me but that latest is a very vivid sky-blue. Telling colours from photos is so hard!
I'm going to repeat myself though - the boy is handsome.

Barney looks 'regal' to me in that picture. I'm looking forward to learning more about him as he settles in his new home.

Bless him, he looks so different from the scared little bud he was at my friends house. I definitely know I made the right decision when I asked if anyone could take him. My friend is happy too , she knew she couldn’t take care of him like he deserved. I have promised to show her his beautiful pictures. Don’t know if I said but he was bought for her at Xmas . Well meant present but she is 83 and not in good health , plus she has an elderly sick dog. So all has ended well for little Barney and I feel so relieved.

I'm glad your friend is happy ladybird, it does sound like she would have had a tough time looking after Barney. blueelephant is doing a good job keeping him entertained. On another note, Buddy looks very similar to the picture of Custard on your profile

Love all the discussion on mutations. I can confirm Barney is....
Blue.
I'll leave it there 😂. He's got a purply bit under his neck. Maybe that makes him violet 😂

Has he told himself to shut up yet?

No talking at all yet. I think he is an ever so slightly less vivid blue than the photo and the purple is much more visible in real life.

Barney looks very contented in the photo, with a hint of mischief maybe. He certainly is handsome and a lovely shade of blue. I'm glad he's settled in.
