Budgie Mutations 101

[Zoohtasim]

@ZooI know the pics suck, but I got a pair of budgies today. I was wondering if you thought the blue one appeared to have the opaline mutation? The black pigment on the neck hasnt been completely cut off, however when compaired ti the green one the barring is very much reduced.

Yes! The male is opaline! It's a sky blue opaline male! Very pretty, I have two males like him myself!

Is it pronounced "Opal-line" or "Opal-lean?"

Truly, I have NO idea I've heard people pronounce it both ways. But I do use o-pa-line instead of o-pa-lean
