    Opaline Greywing???

    Hello everyone,

    This is my first time on tailfeathers, I was just wondering if someone could help me with the genetics and sexing of a budgie that I have.

    Thanks in advance!

    I think you have to be logged in to see the picture??? When I log in I can see them when I'm not logged in they're gone :S

    Well, I'll include a link maybe that will work:

    I can see the pictures now. He is definitely Opaline, looks like a Greywing too, and is it just me or is there Cinnamon on him?

    Thanks very much for the reply! There might be some cinnamon. I had one person say he might be yellowface that has gone green but not sure.

    I bought the bird a couple of months back at a petshop. The person who helped me said that this budgie was a female???

    I paired him up with another male recently and the opaline was the one that was feeding him. With my other two pairs it's almost always the male that's feeding the hen so that's when I wasn't sure of the gender.

    I was just wondering, why does the cere of this male look brownish/purplish???

    And this is definitely a male right? I would really like to pair him up

    I am just wondering if you ever figured out if your bird was in fact a male or turned out to be a female?
    NIchole is owned by 11 budgies Echo,Kalipso,Sunny, Lucy, B.B., P.J., Cammy,Jewel, Pebbles, Buddy,& (Yet to be named). 4 cockatiels (Scooter, Endzo, Dusty and Pepper) as well as 4 dogs (Taz, Sasha, Mya and Sonic)

    RIP Sampson my puppy you will never be forgotten! You were a good dog and an amazing companion. I miss you so much! XOXOX 08/14/08-03/27/10
