Hi everyone!
I'm working on a plushy for a customer who hasn't been able to send me a picture. Unfortunately for us both, I'm pretty confused about how the coloration of the Budgie should be. My customer has described her budgie as a "Blonde" budgie, yellow with a little green on the wings. I've scoured the net, but I haven't found any pictures showing a budgie that is all yellow with green only on the wings, nor have I found anything called a Blonde Budgie.

It's possible her budgie has green on the wings and perhaps elsewhere, but I really don't know what sort of color patterns are possible on budgies. I'm also not sure what black spot/stripe patterns are typical with yellow budgies.

If anyone could possibly put pictures into this thread to help me, I'd be so very very grateful.

Please post any pictures you have (or have found) of yellow budgies (aka parakeets for some 'Mericans) that could help me visualize this.

THANK YOU!!!

I went down a worm hole on this one.

I cannot find a Budgie pic as described by your customer.

Well that's super helpful!! Thank you! I think I can put something together based on that information and the vague info I've gotten from my customer. Seems like she MIGHT have a Texas Clearbody.

Maybe something like this? (IF IF when she said "blonde" she meant "yellow.')

It's a yellow budgie with some pale green showing thru on the wings... this is what I pictured reading your description.

Obviously though, probably best to get a picture of some kind before you put in the effort and then maybe find out it was wrong? (Or, at least get her to verify whether she does indeed mean "yellow" when she says "blonde," before you get started.)

Yes, I think that's probably what she was trying to communicate to me. I think perhaps english isn't her first language so we're having a little trouble on that front. Still, her english is far better than my Any-language-but-english. :)
