Trying to post pic from photo bucket. Let’s see if this works! In case it does, what color/pattern/etc? I’m thinking a pied mutation?
Awww!! He is beautiful! Sure looks like a boy to me, and I do think he is about 4 months. Try googling...pictures of spangle opaline budgies, and also cobalt spangle budgies. And also google sky blue opaline dominant pied budgie pictures. I think this last one I googled may be it.
He is sooooo precious!! I love him!! We will welcome updates anytme.
Thank you soooo much!! I’ll post photos showing body markings ☺️
He has a darker color on his back which looks cobalt or teal like. This little man just came home with me yesterday. He’s jumped on my finger once and flies to my voice when he hears it. I can stroke his breast feathers. He’s settling in sooooo well. Not eating really except a millet spray I put in for just that reason. He’s starting to explore his cage and sings me songs. So I think we are doing well!!
He is a beautiful bird!!
Fly Free Boomer, we will forever love you.
Thanks!! He has my ❤️
Awww! Anytme a budgie spreads his wings and looks at you like in that second picture, he is a happy boy, and is loving you and his new home. He really is unque in feather colors. His beeder did a great job in pairing his parents and gettng him ready for a new home.
I will love to hear all about him whenever you can update us. I sure can understand your love for him!!!!! He is doing great!!!
Thank you!!! He’s really coming around. When I leave the vicinity he flies to the front of his cage looking for me. He’s singing and eating and playing and exploring his cage. I’m loving it. He churtles at me when I talk to him. He’s not stepping on my fingers or eating from them, but he’s not afraid either. He looooves music. I have classical playing almost all the time because I find it relaxing.
A little back story. I’ve been extremely ill this year, and have been diagnosed with three autoimmune diseases. Much of this year I’ve spent watching the many birds at our feeders and they have brought me such joy. I’ve always loved them but they’ve really been a big part of my happiness finding this year. So I thought, being an animal lover, a budgie would be lovely, especially since my life has become so small due to illness. Zephyr is my joy and it’s my pleasure to be his momma. My only regret is waiting so long to start this Budgie journey!!
I sense an addiction blooming. 😂😂😂 maybe they’re like chips, you can’t have just one?
What does this mean? Every time I go and talk to zephyr, he lifts the front of his wings only away from his body, stretching out a leg, and maybe a wing behind him, one at a time. Every single time I talk to him. Lol it must mean something?
I am sorry your not feeling well and I hope your doctor's can figure it out and help you soon.
Boomer use to do the bird stretching thing Zephyr is doing and I always thought it was just him stretching from sitting around chilling. We will see what Maxollie has to say since she has raised many budgies and I have never been around them.
Fly Free Boomer, we will forever love you.
Additionally he’s started bobbing his head at me 😂❤️
He is loving your interaction with him. The leg stretching and wing activity means he is very happy, and is listening to you! The bobbing the head is sooo cool! You are blessed to have found such a tame and unafraid budgie. Some never get to this level, even after months and even years!! Thankfully, you have found him.
You did find the perfect pet for your journey into healing from the diagnosis you have. I have found that meditation is wonderful for any challenge we may have in life. And, it is so important for us to remain hopeful, add any good and positive activity to our life, and to live only in the moment.
I have learned that not looking back, nor looking forward makes my life peaceful, only living for right now. We really have only this minute. My budgies are the best love of my life. I am retired, and at home most every day. I have had budgies in my life for many, many years.
Enjoy each minute with Zephyr. Yes, there just might be a friend for him, one fine day!
I am sending you (((((((hugs)))! Never give up hope! Hope is an anchor for our soul.

You are soooo right!!! The biggest thing that’s served me during this horrid year was the discovery a few years back of exactly this! I had started meditating, and found that real Happiness comes from our looking for the beauty and joy in the NOW. That each moment offers us something we didn’t have before. Even if my life is small right now, there’s beauty and love all around. I’ll stop here before I get toooooo into my spiritualism. 😂
I tell my grown children this all the time. It’s the simple things! Find the joy, the beauty! Life is trials, but we can still enjoy it if we are open to it. If I hadn’t become ill, I wouldn’t probably had zephyr, but would have just kept loving the wild birds. Which of course I still do.
Life is good. A struggle sometimes, yes. But still lovely.
Ps. I really think I want another budgie. 😂
