Wild green Budgies
We have seen that the wild type budgie has a green body color and a yellow face. These colors are caused by melanin and psittacine - two types of pigment. Melanin is responsible for the browns, blacks, greys and other dark colors that you see on a budgie, including blue. Psittacine gives the yellow pigment. This means that a green budgie is actually a bird with blue body color but with yellow over it. This gives a yellow head (as there is no blue there) and a green body (where the yellow covers the blue). So budges aren't really blue or green, they are actually all blue but with yellow or without the yellow!
However, I am sure you have noticed that there are many shades of green, blue and grey available. There are other genes in effect to produce the many beautiful colors we see.
