[roseblog-rog]

if i had a fursona she would probably be a golden retriever with the wings (and probably some extra features) of a lutino lovebird and she would have a similar outfit to what i usually wear like with wide leg light blue jeans and a red beanie and have a similar thick body type that i have and i would love her very much and and and she would be me for real

Hi, @leslapinscretins

In reference to these merged images:

Here are the colours for you. I have included the regular name, rex name and images of them in the mini rex rabbit.

All blue box mini rex photos are from The British Mini Rex Club.

Agouti series

Agouti, chestnut in America. sometimes called Chestnut agouti. This is the wild rabbit colour.

Used to be called Brown grey in the old days, still is used for old breeds like Flemish Giant and Dutch.

Official name is Castor in rex, meaning "beaver". Rex used to be called Castorex until more colours were added.

Opal, this is dilute Agouti, aka. Blue Agouti

Cinnamon, this is Chocolate Agouti, most people don't know this name. Sometimes called Amber in rex.

Lynx, this is dilute Chocolate Agouti, basically dilute Cinnamon or lilac Agouti.

Otter series

Otter, comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Tan is basically otter with rufous gene, sometimes called Black and tan. But it does come in blue, chocolate and lilac aswell.

Tan is allowed in few breeds like Tan rabbit and Belgian hare. It is usually a disqualification in otter colour rabbit breeds, nicknamed "fire belly".

One of my favourite colours (I love tri and Lutino more though).

Self series

black self, called Smoke in angora rabbits.

blue self, the dilute of black.

Chocolate self, in the past was called brown. Rex is named Havana, after the original chocolate rabbit breed, who in turn is named after the cigar.

lilac self, the dilute of chocolate

Red eyes white (REW), colloquially called White, in rex is called Ermine after the winter coat of stoats (which were used in fur industries). Is actually not a self breed but a chinchilla series. any rabbit will become this if carrying double Red eyes white. it works like a blanket, masking the other colours.

Blue eyed white (BEW), the double form of vienna. Single version is called Vienna.

Vienna sometimes shows up as random white patches. Not all have white patches, if your rabbit has one, two or partial blue eyes, it is still carrying a vienna gene.

Blue eyed white is not related to the chinchilla series Red eyed white.

Chinchilla series

The chinchilla series removes yellow pigment. Below is chinchilla series on Agouti.

The chinchilla or Chinrex when rex. was named after the rodent. It is Agouti and Chinchilla series.

Dilute is called Squirrel, aka. Blue chinchilla.

Chocolate and lilac chinchilla exist but are disqualified and rare.

Marten

The chinchilla series Otter rabbits

Marten, sometimes called Silver Martin or fox. Named after the animal used in fur industry. Comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Shaded

Sable agouti (right), mostly forgotten colour, comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.

Actually darker and bigger face marking then image. Image is juvenile.

Seal, comes in Marten seal, and a self version, called Siamese seal. Marten seal is double dose of shaded gene on a marten, Siamese seal is double Siamese sable..

Martin sable, the sable gene on an otter rabbit. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades. Has a chocolate variant.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Martin smoke pearl, the dilute of Martin sable. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Siamese sable, the self version of sable marten. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Siamese smoke pearl, sometimes shortened to smoke pearl. The dilute of Siamese sable. Needs to carry Himalayan or red eyed white to not be seal. Comes in dark, light and medium shades.

Kits have no pattern, develops with age.

Himilayan-

Himilayan, a temperature based albinism. Named after the cat. Also called Californian and pointed white. Comes in black, blue, chocolate and lilac.I

A self breed. Agouti or otter is called martenized Himalayan and is disqualified.

Born white, pattern develops with age.

non extension-

Orange. used to be called yellow, old breeds like Dutch are still called Yellow. Called Fawn in Angora. Becomes red when paired with rufous gene. not a self rabbit but actually an Agouti based rabbit.

Fawn, dilute orange. Sometimes called Beige. Not a self rabbit but Agouti based.

harlequin, sometimes called Japanese harlequin or Japanese. It is a Agouti breed. Self versions are faded and called tort based harlequins. Tort based harlequins are disqualified.

Comes in Black-orange, blue-fawn, chocolate -Orange and lilac-fawn

magpie. Pairing of harlequin and Chinchilla series

Sooty fawn, sometimes called tort. Is named tortoiseshell in rex. a self shaded breed that is non extension. The dilute of sooty fawn is called Beige.

Sable point. Is a Tort mixed with chinchilla series.I

Broken-

Broken. Called Dalmatian in Rex. Shown above is Dalmation Bi. It is also called English, spotted and butterfly. Needs to be blanket version on most. Spotted version is allowed on rex. spotted required on English spot, rhinelander, giant papillion and dwarf papillon.

In its double form it's white with head markings and Herringbone on back. The double is called "Charlie " after the incomplete nose marking resembling Charlie Chaplin moustache.

Booted- broken is only shown as white feet on solid rabbit. Disqualified.

Tri colour. Called dalmatian tri in rex, tri in others. It's similar to Tri-colour Dutch (except that's harlequin and dutch, not harlequin and broken.) The English also comes in tri colour. It is not excepted in most breeds. One of my favourite colours!!!!!!

Lutino-

Lutino. A new mutation. While albinism removes melanin, if it removes yellow it makes albino, if it keeps yellow it's a lutino.

All Lutino have red eyes. On an agouti rabbit it is called Shadow Lutino (it has grey fur closer to skin), on Orange it is just Lutino and on self it is called Dove (Beige in America).

On the left is lutino and the right is Dove.

Unstandardized in most breeds, has been recently allowed in Netherland dwarf rabbits.

This is my favourite rabbit (and bird) colour mutation!!!!

Colours without images-

I hit my image limit on this post. :(

these are some other colours below.

Dutch - only allowed in Dutch rabbits. Used to be called belted. There was a "new style" that had four boots and thin blaze and collar. Thankfully the old style is what stayed. has a white "belt" that covers the front legs, a "blaze" and two white back feet called "stops". Some mini lops call it split.

Steel- sometimes called steel grey. In double form is nearly black and called super steel.

Frosty- a white rabbit with very faint points. Made by mixing sooty fawn and chinchilla series. Unstandarised in every breed.

Sallander- rare variety breed, "Base colour pearl with blackish brown guard hairs giving a veil of pale charcoal". Made from shaded and sooty fawn.

Thuringer- rare variety breed. "buff to deep yellow ochre with blue-black ticking"

Well I'm finished, it took all night and my hands cramped, but it's done!

You didn't ask but I was enslaved by some otherworldly autistic forces took the opportunity.

* updated, removed spelling mistakes basically*

[novembudgie]

sorry, really don't mean to bother. i think your birds are very cute and i look at your blog from time to time to see how they're doing but i've recently had a Sneaking Suspicion and i feel like i need to get it out there. november's cere is pink...Not white or tan or anything. are you sure she's female?

Not sure! Maybe! The vet I go to seemed adamant to refer to both my budgies as female but I'm not bothering with a fancy test. Female ceres can have a mix of colours but November's a pied mutation (and Bravo is a lutino) so I have trouble seeing what applies, and different websites keep saying different things:

November is more than 2 years old now so the colours won't change with age anymore either. It's so hard to tell but some lighting makes it look like she has blue and white in there too

But Cere and behaviour aren't 100% unless you do a test or there's eggs. I wouldn't mind either way since November and Bravo don't seem interested in courtship; they just preen each other

On a related note, I found a forum where someone asked this same question for their own budgie that looks similar to November. The answers are just as mixed on male or female, most saying female, but I just like this answer:

Fuzzly & their pet cockatiel commissioned for @dani-k-k

The realm of cool color tones has been something I haven’t touched in so long lmao. I had a lot of fun with Fuzzly here, their just so shaped like a friend and I wanna hug them so bad after drawing them like this. Also thank you for adding a bird to the list cause they do be my bread and butter and I love drawing the little guys so much <3. (I think this was the first time drawing a Cockatiel too, so that’s neat!)

[reallykrispydream-4c920351-blog]

Two more articles on bajriga cultivation and bajriga identification methods have been published on bdnews24.com. This article will be more helpful for those who want to keep these birds. Shahidul Islam, a bird lover, tells from personal experience.

The buzzard is a forest bird mainly in the east and south-west coast regions of Australia. Moreover, this bird can be seen in Tasmania and some surrounding countries. Forest-dwelling millets can grow to about 6.5 to 7 inches in length. But caged birds are 7 to 8 inches long. Wild birds weigh 25 to 35 grams. And cage reared birds weigh from 35 to 40 grams.

Only in Australia, Melopsittacus, this bird was recorded in the 1700s. Millet is naturally green and yellow with black color. There are also blue, white, yellow patches. The whole body is blue, yellow or other colors under the belly. By conducting research on this bird, the inhabitants of Australia started breeding and got success. You can know that frequent breeding is possible for this bird. Once it starts giving birth, it doesn't stop.

Bajrigar's Name 

They also have different names like the beak of the teal bird. For example; Albino, Lutino Bile, Dinespie and English Barley. Albino is white in color, Lutino is yellow in color with red eyes. Bajriga is one of the most popular pet birds in the world.

Ways to Recognize Male and Female, Small and Large

At 4 months of age, it is identified by the color on the top of the nose. For example, the male bird will have a pink nose color first. The color will turn blue with age. And the color of the female bird's nose will be white. With increasing age will be kheri or chocolate. It is also possible to determine the difference in calls between men and women.

The way to identify small and large is mainly by looking at the eyes. Smaller birds will have bigger eyes. The size of the eyes will be small in keeping with the growth. Because eye circles do not develop until adulthood. Also, the color of the nose will be dark.

Reproductive Age, Eggs and Young 

They live for 4 to 5 years in the wild. About 10 to 12 years in cages. It takes four months to become fertile. But reproductive capacity is very high at the age of four to eight months. According to those who are more experienced in keeping birds, it is not advisable to form a pair before the age of eight months. At a young age, the egg-child does not take full form. Initially they lay 4-5 eggs. Later the number may increase to eight or more. However, up to 12 eggs are reported to lay. It takes 17-18 days from egg to hatch. The young are able to fly at 30 to 35 days of age.

Be Careful with Purchases and other Matters

Those who grow bajriga as a hobby lose patience at some point. This bird does not breed without a quiet environment. Adult in four to five months, but often does not start breeding until 10-12 months of age.

If the husband and wife are right, you have to be patient. Birds cannot be changed again and again because they are not laying eggs. But be very careful while buying. First you can understand by looking at the eye circle. But sellers are very clever. So it is better if you choose yourself without trusting word of mouth. Moreover, it is wise to buy very beautiful and disease-free birds with those who are more experienced in this matter.

Nurturing 

The price of a cage suitable for breeding is 300 rupees. Success is unlikely to come with a pair of birds. So it is better to start with at least two pairs of birds first. Two pairs of birds with two males and two females should be between three and four months of age. The price of two pairs of three or four month old birds is between 1 thousand and 1 thousand 200 taka.

At first keep only male birds in a cage until they are at least six to seven months old. Keep only the female bird in another cage in the same way. Now put them in two cages.

Hang the pot in one corner of the cage within one to two months of cage placement. One end of the sitting stick should be close to the mouth of the pot. So that it can easily enter the pot from the stick. Small stick cannot be given. The sitting stick should be a wooden or bamboo mat. It is not proper to give any such stick as iron, iron pipe or posnastic pipe. Place mineral blocks, sea foam and grids in the cage. The water container will be away from the bird. And it is better if the food container is under the pot. Because the containers should be safe from bird droppings.

Changing the nest or changing the location of the bird will hinder the reproduction of the bird. So be patient.

Food Duties

Every day the list of food will have the same amount of China-Cown. A small amount of sunflower seeds, linseed, gujitil, safflower seeds and Polao rice. Or seed mixes are available at bird feed stores.

Give Kalmi Shaak or Palna Shaak three days a week. Rice and Kalmi vegetables help in fat burning and reproduction. It is better to change the water every morning. To reduce food wastage, if not every day, every other day in the morning, the food husks should be thrown away and new food should be mixed.

There is no problem to leave the bird for a walk. In this case modern methods should be used. You can find a filter system that does not waste water in bird buying and selling stores. Boiling water will last for more than 10 days. Price is not too high 20 rupees each.

A separate care must be taken in the case of those who are or will be rearing commercially. Because it will cost less. If the weight of the bird increases, then the cost of feeding pollow rice will be higher.

If taken care of, this bird does not get sick. Moreover, these days you will get help from experts in all matters on Facebook.

Birds Suitable for Sale

35 to 40 days old birds can be sold. Can be sold through haat, shop or Facebook.

You can visit any place like bird farm, pet house, market. It will increase your interest and the experience will be useful.

Ways to Identify Bajrigar 

Buzzards are called cage birds. Keeping or catching wild birds is a legal offence. Caged birds live in cages from birth. If these birds are left outside, they will not find shelter, on the contrary, they will surely become food for crows. This kind of caged bird is Bajriga.

Many people fulfill their hobby by keeping these birds. Also earning. There can also be many problems while keeping hobby birds. The first problem is determining the age of the bird.

It usually costs 800 taka to buy 1 pair of bajrigars. Bird traders often say for the sake of selling, "After a few days this pair will lay eggs."

6 months have passed since the purchase and the bird is not laying any more eggs.

The price of a young pair of birds is usually 400 rupees. But full-grown birds are said to be laying eggs and sold for 800 taka. In this case, the buyer is cheating.

Not only that, sometimes the pairing is also wrong. Both birds in a pair can become either male or female. Again, even if you combine a pair of young birds with full-grown Bajriga, they will not breed.

Ways to Know 

Adult male beagle has a blue membrane around its nostrils. This membrane extends between the forehead and lips along with the nostrils.

A mature female bajriga has a brown membrane surrounding its nostrils. This membrane extends between the forehead and lips along with the nostrils.

The membrane around the nostrils of young male beagle is pink or purple in color. This color changes with time. At the age of 6-7 months, this color becomes blue.

The color of the nasal membrane of some white or yellow millets is a light white-blue combination.

On the other hand, the membrane around the nose of a young female Bajriga is pale white, pink or blue in color. Again there can be blue-white combination. At the age of 6-7 months, this color changes to brown.

Because of this, it is not easy to know whether the 3-4 month old Bajriga is male or female.

However, there are several signs that determine the age of millets.

* Juvenile Bajrigares usually have striped spots on their foreheads. A full-grown bajrigari has fuller forehead color and the striped spots disappear.

* The eyes of the young Bajrigare are quite large. There is no ring around the eyeball. The eyes of the adult millet are quite small. A ring forms around the eyeball. And the 2 eyes are slightly inward.

* Nasal membrane of young Bajriga is light pink. When mature, the male bajriga will be blue in color. And mature female millet will be brown in color. There may be exceptions here. Adult male millets are white or yellow in color with pale white and bluish tints.

* Juvenile bajriga birds have spots or spots under the throat that are indistinct and small. In adults, the spots are clear and large.

Alright my very wise and even more so mad friend, I am undecided if I should get a rainbow budgie (blue bird with no markings and a yellow head) or lutino budgie which I have been looking for many years for (a yellow bird with no markings and Red eyes)? Oh great receiver of knowledge via whispers, what do you think I should get? Ps. More hugs your way from I!

I think you should keep an ear out for the sound of a glowing soul, leave the longing for particular colours by the door. The more we treat beings like things, the more that becomes all they are, and when we are so long gone already it pays to cherish glimpses of hearted moments!

I would ask you not to call me mad, Rainbow Collector, but it is your opinion to cultivate I suppose... I hear the discordant cacophony of all that ever was, is, or will be, through the lense that my blood made just for me. I don't believe that makes me mad, even if it means I suffer greatly because of the fog I'm lost in.

P.S I don't need any more tangling of limbs, my flesh is comfortably cold for the time being, thank you, dear guest!

[rapha-reads]

13-21, & 37-39 on the soft asks? :)

Hi there ! Thanks for the ask ! :) :) I’ve reblogged two soft asks so I’m going to do both. The more the better ! ;)

13 : Do you have any candles ? what scents are they ?

Nope ! Don’t have candles. But if I were to have some, I would get something forest-y. Tree scents, or petrichor ... 

M : sunkissed - autumn or spring ?

Autumn ! Red and gold and orange leaves, cold wind and warm sun, the world taking a breath between HOT and COLD. 

21 : What snacks do you usually get at the theater ?

Maltesers and potato crisps. Maltesers are tiny balls of perfection.

U : paper - favorite children’s book ?

Okay, but what’s considered as a children’s book ? Because the first novel I read was Harry Potter when I was 6 and I spent my whole childhood reading books that were supposedly for “11 and plus” ... Though I have to say I adore McBroom the Rainmaker by Sid Fleischman. I read that one again and again so many times ... And I just NOW discovered that it’s actually part of a series ? And that there are more shenanigans of the McBroom family and their fantastic farm ? I’m gonna need those books. 

37 : How often do you doodle ?

Very often ! I like drawing flowers, trees and birds. Mostly because they’re the only thing I can kinda draw well. Doodling is a low-brain energy activity so I often doodle when I need to relax and turn off my brain for a moment. But it’s very doodle : tiny things in the corner of a page, etc.

AK : plush - how many stuffed animals do you still own ?

Two ! My bunny that I was gifted when I was born, and my little leprechaun/pixie/puck that used to be a music plush but it doesn’t work anymore. The bunny’s name is Lapinou and the elf is Lutino (bunny in French : lapin ; and the word “lutin” in French is used as an umbrella term for pixie-like creatures). Listen, I was a child.

39 : What’s your favorite random piece of decor in your house and room ?

Ah. My house and room. That house and room that I definitely have. Yes. Decor. I ... don’t ? There’s nothing in my grandfather’s house that calls my eye ... I guess in my parents’ house, there’s this painting that a friend of them gave them when they left France 18 years ago. It’s somewhat abstract but still clearly a scene of three women in a room busying themselves. It’s really beautiful, all in cold colours, blue and green, with yellow and red, and you can reinvent the story it tells constantly.

AM : sweetheart - favorite mug/cup ?

I have two ! One is a tall white mug with red/pink flowers that I bought at 17 when I went to Czech Republic on a class trip. It’s my morning mug, my breakfast tea mug. The other is a large Rogue One mug that my best friends gifted me for my 21st birthday. It’s my afternoon tea and evening herbal tea mug.

Thanks for the ask ! Lovely calm asks Soft asks

theyre based off of the quaker parrot - which are an invasive species to europe. most notably spain! aka the region paldea (gen 9) is based off of.

i also have a quaker parrot so thats where the soft spot comes from hehe :)

the four color variations are based off of the quaker parrots similar different colors in the most condensed categories - green (the natural color in the wild), blue, lutino (yellow), and albino (white)!

Differences Between Albino Parakeet (Budgie) and Lutino Budgie

New Post has been published on https://www.petculiars.com/albino-parakeet-budgie-and-lutino-budgie/

Differences Between Albino Parakeet (Budgie) and Lutino Budgie

Among the most popular birds to be kept as pets are parakeets, which come in a multitude of powerful, beautiful colors. Out of all the parakeets, there are some that look really different, really unique. So what exactly are the differences between an albino parakeet (called a budgie) and a Lutino budgie?

You will find out all about this in the article below.

Parakeets are smaller members of the parrot family. They are also called budgies or Budgerigars and are very beautiful birds to own as pets.

They will usually grow to around 7 to 8 inches in length and are considered plant-eaters, or herbivores.

You might also like my articles on cockatiel care tips, cardinal bird sleeping schedules, and whether birds can suffer from down syndrome.

When they receive proper health maintenance routine and decent care, these birds will easily live for 10 or more years in captivity.

They can be found in all kinds of bold, bright colors, including whites, yellows, blues, greens, and purples, among others.

A parakeet is smart enough to be trained with ease. It will listen to its owner’s commands, as long as it trusts them.

They are sociable creatures that like companionship and are friendly enough to interact quite nicely with others. They will even be happier if they are handled by loving people on a daily basis.

Why do Parakeets have so many colors?

Most parakeets can be found in a combination of orange, white, purple, blue, yellow, or green. The reason behind the multitude of colors for their feathers is genetics.

The color of a bird’s feathers will usually depend on the color lines of the parents, just as the human hair color will be genetically inherited.

I`ll try to go into even more detail below.

Parakeet Color Genetics

There are actually just two main types of parakeet birds: there is a blue type and a green type.

You will notice that the green type of budgie will have a yellow base color. This translates into their feathers having different types of yellow on them

The body of the green type will also have a blue coloring on the feathers of the body, which combined with the yellow base, will make its body look green. Their head will typically be yellow.

On the other hand, the blue type will only have a white base color, which combined with the blue on their body, will create a bird with a blue body and a white head.

The Ino Gene

We can go even further into parakeet genetics and talk about individual genes.

The color differences between different types of parakeets are usually given by the Ino gene.

Considering that the Lutino and the albino parakeets are born this way due to the Ino gene, they are also known as Inos.

This gene is responsible for removing the blue coloring for both the blue type and the green type, making the blue type look white and the green one yellowish, almost like the color of vanilla. It will also remove any other colors the birds would have had on their feathers.

The Lutino or albino budgies will also have different colors on the skin and the eyes as well due to the Ino budgerigar genetic mutation.

The Ino gene is present both in albino and Lutino parakeets, being completely responsible for their unique colors.

The two genetic variations, the Lutino, and the albino parakeets will have either red or pink eyes with a white ring surrounding the iris, light pink skin, and beaks of bright orange.

Basically, the Lutino term refers to the yellow Ino, while the Albino name is given to the white Inos.

The Ino Feather Color Breakdown

The green type of parakeets having the Ino gene will become Lutino budgies.

This gene will give them a yellow skin color, while also removing their blue markings and coloring.

This means that lutino birds will be yellow in color and have no particular markings. The color is similar to what you’d find on the feathers of a canary.

Although they don’t have a lot of colors on them, they still are great-looking birds.

The blue type of parakeets that have the Ino gene is called the Albino budgie. The Ino gene will make their skin white while removing any blue markings or coloring.

This means that the albino parakeets will be solid white with no other color markings.

What is an Albino Parakeet?

A bird suffering from albinism will basically have the same colors as the animals that suffer from this condition. They will usually be white, with pink or red eyes, and pink skin.

All of the feathers of a parakeet suffering from albinism will be white, while its legs will be pink, and its cere brown or pink. The eyes will be either red or pink.

What is a Lutino Budgie?

Along with the albino budgies, there are other types of budgies that will also feel the effects of the Ino gene.

A green type of parakeet affected by the mutation caused by the Ino gene is called a Lutino budgie.

This is a budgie that should have been green but the Ino gene has caused it to have a beautiful yellow color instead.

This type of bird has either red or pink eyes and its cere and legs are brown or pink in color.

Albino vs Lutino Budgies

Although a lot of people would confuse lutino and albino parakeets, they actually have some pretty important differences between them.

Although both of these two types of parakeets have the notorious Ino gene, it makes them develop different colors. In this sense, the albino one is all white, while the lutino budgie is yellow.

So, you can usually differentiate between these two types pretty easily, based on the feather color of the budgies.

Male or Female Albino Parakeet?

Some male budgies will have a blue cere (the noseband that has the nostrils) but others will have pink ceres instead.

The cere of female lutinos and albinos will be brown.

Are Albino and Lutino Budgies rare?

These two species of parakeets are in fact pretty rare.

If you want to get these types of birds you will usually be able to find one for sale, although it will be harder because they are rare and you will be charged more.

Caring For an Albino or Lutino Budgie

An albino or lutino budgie won’t require any special care as opposed to any other types of budgies.

This genetic difference isn’t considered a condition or a disease and it won’t make them more vulnerable than other types of birds.

Some species of animals might have vision or skin problems that can be associated with albinism, but this isn’t the case with these parakeets.

You will have to take care of them just as you would with any other parakeet pets.

Good parakeet pet care includes:

Proper Sleeping Environment

Opportunities to socialize and exercise

Adequate housing

Fresh, clean water

High-quality nutrition

Proper hygiene

Summary:

You can’t argue that both albino and lutino budgies are not only unique in coloring but also very beautiful. It might be a little harder to find one in pet shops but if you do manage to get one, you won’t have to offer it any special conditions or special care. You should raise it as you’d do to any other pet parakeet.
