So, about 6 months ago I had these 3 budgies:
Dazey: Yellowface (2?) sky blue cinnamon opaline
Wheatley: Cobalt (and violet??) clearflight pied
Benny: Dominant pied something. I can't tell if he's dark green or olive. And his lack of stripes, is that "clearwing"? And I'm assuming opaline since that's the only way he would have green on his wings like that (right??)
Now, 3 months ago, Dazey surprised me by making more of herself:
Curtain Rods -- Bringing budgie families together since 2012 ♥
From the left, we have Katt, Dott, and Brett. ((and a rear view of Dazey and her apparent ex-boyfriend...))
First of all, is Katt a recessive pied? Because that seems crazy.
Secondly, is Dott a CF pied or not? She has a TINY clear spot on the back of her head and ONE wing has some clear flight feathers.
And I'm thinking Brett is violet because he has this sort-of-indigo tinge on his rump and near his face, but maybe that's normal for a young sky blue, or it only seems violet in contrast to Dott, who is cinnamon?
And... someone give me a clue about the whole yellowface thing. I did read enough about YF to know it's not a matter of "hey you got some yellow on your blue budgie" but more like "hey there's not enough yellow on your green budgie" (makes so much more sense that way) but I'm wondering what it specifically means for Dazey and Wheatley's offspring.
Here's one more shot of the kids:
(btw it could just be my monitor but all 6 birds here seem more greenish in these photos than they do in person)
Any info about the genetics of the kids, or Benny's color, would be much appreciated. <3
