:budge: :budgie: Hi just wanted to know what colours my budgies are like Sky Blue etc.
I am going to get more photos but we never have any batteries and my camera has a flash. Is that Ok for them by the way?:budgie: :budge:

From the Left : Grey (i'm taking a shot in the wind with Spangle because the body color goes into the wings I belive is a spangle when it does that) then ya got a Normal "wild budgie" green and then a sky blue I can't see the wings on the other 2 so not sure if they have any other mutation or not -

Beautiful birds by the way

I've also got a Grey Budgie but his wings are outlined in Grey instead of the NORMAL black but his body color doesnt "seep" into his wings



Almost forgot about the flash, You can use it but I wouldn't use it alot or up close I try to stay a foot or more away from mine if i'm using flash or planning on taking Alot of pics
or i'll wait a few mins in between pictures before I take another one

Thanks I will try to get some more photos and will use your advice. I do that anyway but I just wanted to make sure.

Zoom in from a distance using the flash or you could literally blind the birds at close range.

Yeh the flash is OK but it does startle the birds. I am sure you can take it off. Is there an option saying single shot?

[atvchick95]

With the flash bieng OFF you may have to take many many pics to get a decent one, With my camera any pic i take with the flash off is a blurry mess no matter what, I've sat it on my desk and put the timmer on ( because I do have tremours so i thought it was me causing my pics to be blurry) but when it took the pic and I checked it without flash it was blurry and it looked like what I was taking a pic of decided to take a dashing run .......... I took a pic of a plant in a flower pot that sits in the corner of my living room LOL - - It sure didn't run no where and i was the only one home lol

hey there, you have a very nice looking grey opaline, a green normal and a sky blue opaline all very good looking birds.
With the flash I would agree with zooming in on the birds with the flash on.

The same thing happens with me atvchick. The camera seems to be so sensitive.

I had to shut the flash off to take pictures of our pumpkins bieng lit up other wise it looked like I was taking pictures of them in the day light

and they're all blurry - My pumpkins wasn't moving any where LOL

it agravates me to no end
but my mom just bought this camera for me this past xmas and spent alot of money on it - I'm not getting a new one for a while LOL

I've found I have almost zero blurry pictures with my newest camera that has image stabilization, it's a Kodak Z712, very user friendly!

without a wing picture of the grey i'd guess a grey opaline... then a light green normal (aka wild normal).. and then a sky blue (opaline maybe?) Very pretty!

[BeckiC]

Thanks I never really thought about what colours they were - just blue, grey and green. I know so much more about it now!!
I'm guessing from what everyone's said that they're grey opaline, blue opaline, and light green normal, yeah?
Thanks again
