I have parakeets and african lovebirds
What do you guys think will be the color of budgies a gray budgie and a skyblue budgie? Any ideas will they be able to produce green budgies? I really want a green budgie, I think the color green is a stunning color for a bird.

All babies will be some shade of blue. Blue is recessive to green so two blue budgies can't produce a green budgie. Sorry.

It depends on whether the green budgie has two green genes (all chicks will be green) or a green gene and a blue gene (half the chicks will be green.

If you pair the opaline gray female with the opaline green male in the picture all the chicks will be opaline and at least half will be green.

Post a better picture of that green male. I think he's opaline but not 100% sure from that picture.
