What are the different colors of budgies?​

A green (yellow-based) budgie with no dark factor will be the original very bright green; this variety is called “green” or “light green.” One dark factor will result in a darker green; this variety is called “dark green.” Two dark factors will result in a deep olive drab green color; this variety is called “olive.”

What does it mean when a budgie is split?​

Such a budgie is heterozygous and is said to be “split” for white-base, which means it carries the recessive gene, but does not show it because of the presence of the dominant gene. Breeding two yellow-based budgies who are split for white-base can result in white-based budgies.

What does it mean if a Budgie has a grey factor?​

What does it mean if a Budgie has a grey factor?
If a budgie has a grey factor, the color grey is added to the budgie’s original body color. The grey factor is very strong and overrides the underlying color. Normal yellow-based budgies with a grey factor will be a grey-green color.

What does it mean when a budgie is yellow base?​

If the yellow-base gene accompanies the white-base gene, the budgie will be yellow-based because the yellow-base gene is dominant. Such a budgie is heterozygous and is said to be “split” for white-base, which means it carries the recessive gene, but does not show it because of the presence of the dominant gene.

What can budgies eat besides seeds?​

When both are available a budgie will naturally eat an appropriate balance between seed and fresh vegetables. Can budgies eat fruit? Budgies can eat certain varieties of fresh fruit. Fruit should make up about 5% of a budgies diet and should only be offered occasionally because of its higher sugar content.

Budgies come in various colors based on their genetic makeup. Here are some common colors and factors that influence budgie coloration:

1. **Green Budgies:**
- **Light Green:** A yellow-based green budgie with no dark factor appears very bright green.
- **Dark Green:** One dark factor results in a darker green shade.
- **Olive:** Two dark factors lead to a deep olive drab green color.

2. **White Base:**
- Budgies can be "split" for a white-based color, which means they carry the recessive gene but do not visually show it due to the dominant gene. Breeding such budgies can result in white-based offspring.

3. **Grey Factor:**
- The grey factor adds grey to the original body color of a budgie, overpowering the underlying hue. Yellow-based budgies with a grey factor will appear as a grey-green color.

4. **Yellow Base:**
- When the yellow-base gene is present along with the white-base gene, the budgie will exhibit yellow-based coloration due to the dominance of the yellow-base gene.

In terms of diet, budgies primarily consume seeds, but they can also be offered fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables should be a regular part of their diet, along with occasional fruit treats, as fruits contain more sugar.

As for Pak Choi (Kale), it is a leafy green vegetable that can be offered to budgies. You can hang wet kale leaves for your budgies to enjoy, as they may bathe in the water droplets on the leaves before consuming them. Pak Choi is a nutritious vegetable that can be a part of a varied diet for your budgies.
