Black budgie. Is there such a thing?

[lisege]

Not anthracite, not black face, but an all black budgie?

I have never heard of such a mutation.

I don't think so.

Would breeding a slate bird with a blackface create this mutation?
I mean if an all white bird can be bred, why not an all black bird?
Wouldn't that be a sight?

This is just about as close as you can get... and the budgies will be blackest as chicks, since they'll molt into those white facial patches.


There's a couple other pics in this thread...
What't the real difference?

I think that bird looks like it's a photo negative of a normal budgie!

yes, my neighbour had one, it was meant to be grey but became very dark with age, not quite black but very very close
