BUDGIE VARIETIES
The Blue Budgie. Often considered as being the "Normal" budgie, it is without a doubt the easiest to recognise.
It has the zebra-esque black and white stripes over the back of the head and wings.
It has three varieties; Skyblue, Mauve and Cobalt.
The Yellow Budgie. This comes in three variations, all with a different shade of yellow face mask.
All types (Olive, Dark and Light Yellow) don't sport the wing markings common to the majority of budgies.
The Olive Yellow has blue/black tail feathers whereas the Light and Dark Yellows have tail feathers that
are only slightly lighter than their bodies. Also, the body of the Light Yellow is more of a buttercup
yellow, the Dark Yellow is just a little darker with the Olive Yellow being a mustard yellow.
The Green Budgie. A Domestic coming in three colours, Dark Green, Light Green and Olive Green,
all with yellow masks and purple cheek patches. They very closely resemble their Australian ancestors.
The Violet Budgie. This has a white face mask, six black spots on the throat, dark blue-black tail
feathers and beautiful, purple cheek patches. The body comes in dark purple with black and white striped
back and wings. A while back, this budgie was though of as rare, originating in the 1930s Australia,
Denmark and Scotland.
The Grey Budgie. This budgie has two varieties; English Grey (Recessive) and Australian Grey
(Dominant). The Grey's features are a white face mask with black and white striped back and wings,
combined with the unforgettable six black throat spots. Both varieties have black tail feathers,
but the English has a light, medium or dark grey body whereas the Australian has a grey body, but
in the following shades; (grey, cinnamon grey, white grey, fallow grey and full grey).
The White Budgie. This breed is by breeding the Blue Budgie and Yellow Budgie.
The Albino Budgie. Due to a lack of Melanin, the Albino Budgie is totally white with red eyes. Care should be taken,
as light sensitivity is a problem due to the lack of pigmentation.
The Laurel Budgie. A gorgeous blue in colour, this budgie was first recorded in France, 1915
The Yellow Face Budgie. AKA the Yellowface Blue is bred in two variations; type 1 and type 2.
Both have yellow rims to the tail feathers with yellow heads and faces. Type 1 doesn't have a
yellow spread to the body but type 2 does following its first molt.
The Lutino Budgie. Actually this is a Green Budgie Albino. Commonly called "Inos"
(along with the Albino).
The Opaline Budgie. There are six variations of Opaline, all with V shaped designs in their
backs and yellow face masks barring the Skyblue, whose has a white face mask. The six variations
being; Opaline Green (purple cheek spots and throat spots), Opaline Light Green (grassy green in
colour but lighter than the Cinnamon),Opaline Cinnamon Light Green (spots being cinnamon brown),
Opaline Dark Green (deep green plumage),Opaline Skyblue (skyblue plumage), Opaline Olive Green
(even olive green plumage) and the Opaline Grey Green (fully green feathers).
The Lacewing Budgie. In either white or yellow, this is a beautiful bird.
They have light brown tails, red eyes and rosy cheeks. They are very rare with Light brown on the wings.
The Red Eyes Lacewing Budgie. Firstly, there are two variations; the White Red Eyed
Lacewing and the Yellow Red Eyed Lacewing. They both have pale purple cheeks, red eyes with a
light iris ring and cinnamon brown tails.
The Fallow Budgie. The Fallow is similar to the Cinnamon Budgie but the main (yet only slight)
difference is that the Fallow Budgie is a bit darker. What really sets aside the Fallow from the
Cinnamon are its deep red eyes. There are four different types of Fallow; Fallow, Fallow Olive,
Fallow Dark Green and Fallow Light Green.
The Royal Opaline Budgie. Alike the Lacewing.
The Cinnamon Budgie. 11 variations of Cinnamon Budgie, with their specialty being their
brown markings (instead of the commonly seen black markings) on their wings. Cinnamon, Cinnamon
Light Green, Cinnamon Dark Green, Cinnamon Olive Green, Cinnamon Grey Green, Cinnamon Mauve,
Cinnamon Grey, Cinnamon Light Yellow, Cinnamon Violet, Cinnamon Skyblue and Cinnamon Cobalt.
All with purple cheeks bar the Cinnamon grey, which has slate/grey cheeks. All have 3 brown throat spots.
The Spangle was first documented in 1974 and is one of the Dominant breeds "Dominant".
Spangles come in quite a few different types of variety and colour:
Spangle Light Green - This variety has a lovely yellow mask which continue into undulations
(that are black) at the back of the head. They have silver or violety white cheek colouring.
Their body colour is a fantastic shade of grassy green (on the breast, rump, flanks and underneath).
Each feather on the wings is yellow with some black edging and a yellow edge at the tip.
Spangle Dark Green - Just like the Light Green but with a dark green body.
Spangle Olive Green - Again, as The Light Green, but with an Olive Green body.
Spangle Grey Green - A yellow mask with six black throat spots that have yellow middles.
Their body colouring is a green grey colour and the bird has grey to silvery white cheek colouring.
Each feather on the wing is yellow with black edging and a yellow tip.
Spangle Skyblue - The Skyblue has a white mask, sporting the same evenly spaced throat spots as the Spangle Grey Green.
Its body colour is a vibrant skyblue. The feathers on the wing are clear white with a black edge and
clear white tips.
Spangle Cobalt - Alike the Spangle Skyblue, but with a cobalt blue body.
Spangle Mauve - Again, like the above varieties, but with a mauve body.
Spangle Violet - Another to match the above few, this time with a violet body.
Spangle Grey - The Grey is another of the breed that displays the refining throat spots.
With its clear, white mask and grey body colouring, it's most certainly a beautiful bird.
Bear in mind, there are light, medium and dark shades of the Grey. Each wing feather is clear white
with a black edge followed by clear white tips.
Double Factor Spangle Yellow - The mask of the Double Factor Yellow is a bright yellow with no
spots or markings with the body being grey. Each wing feather needs to be clear white with a black
edge finished by a clear white tip.
Double Factor Spangle White - A carry on from the Double Factor Yellow, with the difference
being its clear white body colour
The Crested Budgie. The gene of the Crested is Dominant and it comes in three different types;
Half Circular Crest, Full Circular Crest and Tufted Crest. You need to be careful not to breed two
Crested Budgies as the double crest result can be fatal. The Tufted Crest shows the same sort of
crest as a Cockatiel, going up from the top of the cere. The Full Circular Crest Budgie's crest
goes out from the middle of its head and to finish, the Half Circular Crest can go either out or up
from the cere in a semi circle.
The Recessive Pied Budgie. AKA the Harlequin Budgie or Danish Pied. This breed has a yellow face
mask, a varying number of black throat spots and a light yellow and green body.
The Dutch Dominant Pied. This came about in Belgium, 1934.
The Dominant Pied Budgie. This is also called the Australian Pied.
The Greywing Budgie. This budgie comes, originally, from Belgium and Germany and was
recorded first in 1975.
The Clearwing Budgie. The individual factor of this breed is its white wings.
The body, wings and cheeks should be light in colour with no markings. They are usually either
white or yellow. It is common for a Clearwing to have a bit of grey in it too.
The Clearflight Budgie. The colour here is Skyblue, with a refreshing, white face mask and
black and white striped wings. The tail feathers are blacky blue, along with its purple cheek
patches and six black throat spots.
The Rainbow Budgie. Rainbow is a common name for a colourful budgie. Greywings and Blues,
Clearwings and Opalines, are often referred to as a Rainbow Budgie.
The Seafoam Budgie is similar to the Rainbow - a 'slang' term in description of colour.
The Continental Clearlight breed first documented in Belgium, 1946.
