The many color variations of budgerigars, such as albino, blue, cinnamon, Clearwinged, the various Fallows, Grey, Greygreen, Greywing, Lutino, Mauve, Olive, Opaline, Spangled, Suffused and Violet are the result of mutations that have occurred within specific genes. There are actually at least thirty-two known primary mutations established among ...
Early breeding results showed this Grey to be a Dark Grey (SF)/dilute, and Mrs Harrison went on to establish a substantial strain of Greys from this bird. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In 1936, it was reported [ 4 ] that W F Shepherd of Kew, Victoria, also had Greys which he obtained from a colony breeder, and a Grey was also bred independently by R Hancock of ...

The German Fallow budgerigar mutation is one of approximately 30 mutations affecting the colour of budgerigars.At least three types of Fallow, the German, English, and Scottish, all named after their country of origin, have been established, although none of these types is common.
In 1919 Mrs Ransome [5] or Ranson [2] of Wimbledon, London, sent an example of a variety she was breeding to J W Marsden, which she called Jades. [2] It was later identified as a Greywing green. She bred this from a 'blue-bred green hen' and a 'badly coloured Yellow cock', [ 5 ] so either the Yellow cock was a Greywing and the hen split ...
The Clearwing budgerigar mutation is one of approximately 30 mutations affecting the colour of budgerigars.It is the underlying mutation of the Clearwing variety, often known as Yellowwings in the green series and Whitewings in the blue series.
The genetics of the several Yellowface mutations and their relation to the Blue mutation are not yet fully and definitively understood. [4] [5]Much confusion and misunderstanding have arisen because the popular names given to these mutations are misleading.
The two forms, with one or two Clearflight Pied alleles, are indistinguishable visually, but differ in their breeding behaviour. Note: this combination of two pied mutations in the budgerigar should not be confused with the Black-eyed Clear recessive mutation found in some parrots.
