I'm not expert but my ideas are:
1. blue sf spangle
2. cinnamon blue
3. pied blue (there can be many types of pieds but I don't know them)
Somewhere I can be wrong, the 1st one I'm the most sure

@Rozalka cinnamon blue?? are you sure? coz as per my knowledge, to be a cinnamon it needs to have a light brown feathers and markings instead of black. I think its an Opaline as its mother is an Albino and father is a yellowface blue opaline.

Also the 3rd one is dominant pied or recessive?

No, I wasn't sure;) I also was thinking about the opaline mutation but I'm not sure because the "wave-break" is so small. I've just found on the Internet a good comparision of opaline and "non-opaline" backs:

They are green, but in blue it works simillar. As you see this changes the shapes of waves but not the color. It means that there have to be one more mutation something like cinnamon (yep, the waves shoud be brown) or dilute (there are 3 types of this mutation)
About the type of pied I can't help

Currently I have none, but I have the capacity to adopt a minimum and maximum of two budgies - preferably a bonded pair or two males.

Beautiful contrast between the Opaline and the Wild type :)

I am not an expert on mutations either but

1 is spangle and 3 is recessive pied- it is easy to differentiate recessive and dominant pied- check on google.

I don't know about 2nd one.

For the 2nd one first I guessed it as an Opaline coz of the 'V' factor at the neck portion and also because her mother is an Albino and father is an Opaline too and also one of my friend told me that it might be a Dilute one too....what you say??


Also regarding thie Spangle am having a small doubt. In this picture its clearly visible that its a Spangle but the picture is 4-5 months older. Now he developed very small tinge of his sky blue body color on the edges of few wing feathers that also in the upper region close to the neck. I somewhere read that if body color is visible on wing feathers for a Spangle then its a Spangle Opaline. Can anyone help me on this??

This also is possible the 2nd one is dilute opaline blue


One of my budgies is opaline spangle blue - is your budgie similar to her?

He looks like just spangle to me, I don't see "V" shape. Do you know his parents? This could help

His father is a cobalt violet opaline spangle (much like ur bird apart from the color) and mum was a clear sky blue spangle (she is no more)

Thanks, now it's sure, your budgie isn't opaline because from genetics it's impossible to get opaline male after this pair

His parents are Spangles too...and as per my knowledge DF spangles get an iris on their eyes and also blue cere when the grow up. He is 9months old and his cere is completely pink and with no sign of iris in his eyes.

is there any possibilities that its a Dark Eyed Clear ?

correct me if am wrong.
