This is what the DARK GENE does to your budgie!

How a single variety can have 6 different outcomes only because of one gene which is the dark gene.

In the wild, all budgies have the same color mutation and same variety mutation.

This gene act as semi dominant, which means, the more of the dark factor is present in your budgie, the darker your bird will be.

a single variety can have 6 different color mutations:
light green, dark green, olive, sky blue, cobalt blue and mauve.

Guys here me out, I have tried for years to get my birds healthy and despite my consulting experts they would literally starve themselves than eat healthily, even when I mixed in with their normal food, but they would always turn their beaks up at it. Same thing they hated and I mean HATED bathing, so much. After years of trying and failing with no success I finally got them to both bathe and eat healthily in one ok so hear it goes my (1) tip is offer outside (not inside their cage but OUTSIDE) their cage (2) DO NOT mix their food but put fresh greens not store bought but dandelion leaves and stuff in a bowl and fill it up with water and put on top of their cage (3) my birds are scared of most things so it took them even with being scared about two weeks to be ok next to the bowl (4) If you do not force them to do it they will be interested, now at week four I have them taking baths whenever they have an ounce of water near them and they are practically addicted to lettuce!!!! the reason I say do not buy store bought greens is because at least for my birds they way faster tried the edible greens from outside than the store-bought greens I offered them all the time but they turned their beaks up, after though they eat the fresh greens you can give them store bought lettuce!! Hope this helped!!! It made me almost cry seeing my very scared-of-any-thing mango rolling in and eating the lettuce I put out for him #proudmommymoment!!! I tried everything I could but this is the only way I succeeded, I hope I helped your bird over its fears and helped you get him to eat healthy!!! Good luck, hope this helps to everybody whos having a really hard time getting your bird to eat healthy!!

Hello my friend, you are forgetting one thing to mention about what the darkfactor does, it does not only block the melanine (black pigment) but it also changes the structures of the feather, the feathers become thinner and lie closer toghether, so less light can refract back and so it also makes the colours look darker. The best way to see this is in the ino mutation you can have an lutino with a darkfactor, and altough there is no melanine in the bird it still looks darker then a normal lutino, this is because of the structure change. This is also why most dark or double dark mutations look smaller then the birds without darkfactors. Kind regards Ouwes

Does that mean the dark grey budgie I saw at the pet store was actually a Mauve? I’d never seen a budgie that dark grey before with a stunning white face. I would’ve bought it but couldn’t afford it.
