What mutations does Poptart have? Here's my guess:

Yellowface type 2, sky with single factor violet, dom pied, opaline and... grey wing? Dilute? What's making his "black" markings so light?

He is so beautiful. I loooooove how all the varying mutations work together to make such unique and beautiful looking little birds.

If it helps Cloudy, here are his parents.

I dunno, I still can't tell! I'm better at figuring out mutations using parents as examples with cockatiels but their list of mutations is so tiny compared to budgies. All I can do is look at a budgie and just guess at the mutation based on what I see and what I learned when I was looking up the mutations of my little flock.

Budgies are definitely a lot harder than cockatiels. Every now and then I try to figure out what mutations a particular budgie has, but I'm not super confident about the answer that I come up with.

The ones I'm pretty sure on is yellowface type 2, opaline and sorta sure on dom pied. The rest though.. I think sky blue with a single violet factor making him appear sorta cobalt but maybe it's just the lighting and he's a cobalt. He also has some kind of mutation that dilutes, so that could also make the cobalt appear more sky with violet to me.

Well whatever he is, he is absolutely gorgeous. I really love yellow faces type one and two and all the blue and violet factors.

Reusing this thread since it still works.

Happy 7th birdday Beck! You always take such tender, sincere pictures. Love you old man.

Happy birthday

Happy bird day to Beck! It'll be Poppy's birthday soon too, won't it?
