What colours are my kids?

[Jaime]

Hi everyone,

I have read the colours for beginners thread but I'm no closer to knowing what to call my kids (and dare say I'm possibly even more confused than I was before) so if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.

Ok, Puppet is white except for patches under his eyes which are kind of grey, and he has a very pale purple hue to his chest. The purply and grey colours are quite faint and can only be seen in certain light. He has no other markings at all. (the blue on his head is the "sold sticker" from the breeder)

Now Bandit is...hmmm...not sure how to describe her (umm, confirmation on girl / boy would also be appreciated...I think girl cause she's nasty!) but her front is a mottled colour, which didn't show up well in the pics. It is a mix of blue and brown.

Now this is my first post excluding my intro, and my first attempt at pics so my apologies in advance if there are any problems.
If there are some advice on how to fix that would be appreciated as well :)

Thanks!

Beautiful kids! I am leaning towards either lutino or dark eyed clear. Each budgie is beautiful by the way. I'm thinking bandit may be a male cinnomin; however, I am not wonderful at determining color mutations!

[A-n-M]

They are gorgeous.
I don't quite know what mutation Puppet may be.
Bandit is a female and is a Cinnamon Skyblue.

Puppet is male, and i'm afraid i haven't got the slightest idea what colour he is! :p I know of a couple of people who might though - if you don't mind i can show them and see what they say?

Bandit, like A-n-M said, is female but i disagree with the colour. I think she's a cinnamon mauve. :)

[Jaime]

Thank you for your replies...I really appreciate it.
Bea, please do ask after Puppet's colour for me. It seems to have everyone I've asked so far stumped. He's so gorgeous though! Sometimes looking at him he looks plain white, but other times the sheen on his front is so obvious.

I'll try to get a clearer pic of Bandit tomorrow in better light but so far she has made it her personal mission to draw blood any chance she gets and if I get too close when she is out of the cage she tries to make a quick get-away.
Bandit is indeed a perfect name for her LOL

Thanks again!

the girl I´m 100% with bea....... (LOL I´m glad i got that one)

and puppet I see the violet hue....... so could he be a diluted?? a way way diluted....... with a clearwing.......

if you can please post more pics if possible in brighter light and different angles so to see hiw wings.......... I have a diluted female but on the green series she looks almost yellow but has a slight hue of green pattern i her wings....... your boy could be juts more pattern lacking......

[Bea]

I've asked some people and will let you know if they can help! :D I'm sure they can.

Puppet is a violet white cock (also known as a dilute).
Bandit is a cinnamon sky hen.

[Bea]

The people i talked to think Puppet is either a double factor spangle with grey suffusion, or a dark eyed clear with grey suffusion.

Kelly, i thought whitewings (clearwings) had brighter body colour than that.

Thanks again to everyone :)

I am working on some brighter / clearer pics but my camera card up and died on me. I will get a new one this weekend and get some more pics up.

[cute_coco]

a greyish kind of white maybe...

[Jaime]

My apologies for the time it has taken me to get some more pics up. Camera died (2 of them actually) and it took me a bit to get back to pic taking.
So here are some more pics of Puppet and Bandit, and just for fun, also of our newest addition Oliver! Some help on Olivers colour would be appreciated as well.

Ok, so Puppet is the white one, Bandit is the one who looks like she's been through the washing machine (I think she may be moulting cause at the moment she looks like someone smooshed 2 budgies together and her feather colours just don't match up) and Oliver is the fluro yellow / green looking guy. The pics just don't do him justice....he looks almost radioactive :)

Your Oliver looks exactly like my Keiko.

I think they called her a green dilute.

[Jaime]

He does look exactly like Keiko...Oliver just looks slightly darker coloured wings.

Keiko is gorgeous ;)

thanks for that :)
