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 Yellowface I Skyblue variety is the same in appearance as a normal Skyblue except that the forehead and mask, which is white in the normal Skyblue, is replaced by bright yellow, the short tail feathers show yellow instead of the normal white, and the undulations on the wings are often faint yellow.
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 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 English 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.
The history of the English Grey begins in 1933, when Mr T Watson of Bedford, England, discovered and purchased a hen of a slatey grey colour from a dealer.This may or may not have been an English Grey, as Mr Watson failed to establish the strain, but his report in 1935 [3] of the bird's existence prompted both Mr E W Brooks of Mitcham, Surrey to report his breeding of Greys from two Cobalts in ...
