Can you tell me what these 2 are please? The yellow one I think is a lutino, she has black eyes, but I have no idea about mutations.   |

I think the yellow one is a dark eyed clear wing
Blue one is a sky blue.
Could be wrong though

I think your blue is a cobalt. Is the yellow a double factor, rather than lutino???

Better pictures required.
Hezz appears to be right, considering the current pictures and given information.
First one appears more Cobalt than a Sky Blue.
Second one is Double Factor Spangle, if she doesn't have red eyes. Especially if she has grey feet.

Thanks, the pictures aren't great, they were taken on an iphone and it was a bit gloomy. I'll get some more when they have settled a bit.
She has pink feet and her cheek patches are very pale blue.

Uh, oh ..... I am feeling another little jig starting to develop .....  I am giving myself a pat on the back .... BB, what makes a double factor spangle? Is it by getting a (single) factor from both parents? And do they always appear without wing markings? |

Is it by getting a (single) factor from both parents? And do they always appear without wing markings? Double Factor Spangle budgies are all clear body, all yellow or all white. They have normal black eyes with light irises at maturity. Double Factor Spangle X Double Factor Spangle will produce 100% Double Factor Spangles. Double Factor Spangle X Non-Spangle will produce 100% Single Factor Spangles. Single Factor Spangle X Single Factor Spangle will produce 25% Double Factor Spangles. |

I think pink feet = lutino Lutinos always have pink feet. But there are other mutations which can have pink feet. |

I think the explanations regarding his genetics are towards the last half of the thread. BB goes through it beautifully. I wouldn't like to make a fluff of the genetics for you.
