If I were to post individual pictures of my budgies both front and back, could you guys give it a go on what the color mutation of each are? I only know them as pretty, and mine, and I'm curious about what each would be considered and maybe a brief description of what gives him or her that name. Shall we start getting pictures gathered?

Senegal Parrot named "Kane"; Yellow-Sided Green Cheek Conure named "Bowie"; Blue Quaker Parrot named "Lita Ford"; Cockatiel named "Duff"; 8 American/English Budgie Hybrids; Ringneck Dove named "Dylan"
Yes, we can tell you what mutation they are, as well as their genders and give you a good idea of their ages...Keep in-mind that with both American and English Budgies there aren't too many mutations in the first place, with most being some color of Pied Budgie (especially if they came from a Pet Shop and not a private-breeder who has a special breeding-stock)....But yes, pease post photos of them and we'll give you as much info about them as possible...

***It's better if you take a photo of the face (making their Cere and forehead clearly visible), then a side-view that shows their wing and back...If any of them look to be a mutation other than a colored Pied, then we might need an extra photo of the underneath of their wing too (as some mutations might be Albino, Lutino, etc., but also might just be yellow or white Pieds), but we'll worry about that photo if we need it.

Ok. I'll get some pictures taken at play time tonight, they are all very young, most being 12-14 weeks from what we've been told, I'll have some pictures up this evening!

Ok, here goes a front and back of each bird, with as much in each picture as they allowed, two pictures each, and I'll post names with birds.

I'd love to know if any of them aren't typical for sure, they are so fun.

Just so you know, most your photos are not working. Only the photos of Smidge (cute name) are there

If Diamond has red eyes then they are an Albino. Thats all I have though. Still learning the mutations myself.

Diamond has standard black/brown eyes, very light blue on the belly and back under wings, white main color with what I would call a silver vein across the wings.
