The budgerigar is known as one of the most famous types of ornamental birds in the world. It is difficult to find a person who has not seen a budgerigar before, as it is a bird spread throughout the world.

Everyone loves pets or birds, even if they are not an expert on them. They will probably have bought a budgie before.

But why is the budgie parrot the most widespread? Why can everyone buy it? The reason is simple: the budgerigar is a fast breeding bird , which makes its price and availability affordable for everyone.

But do you think that budgies are really cheap? With this topic, I will introduce you to budgie mutations at prices you did not expect.

1: English budgie.

Giant budgie, or sad budgie, are all terms by which the English budgie is known. There are different levels of the English Budgie, and there are international competitions in which amateurs participate to find out who has the best specifications for the English Budgie.

The price of English budgies increases according to specifications and size. The larger its size, the denser the feathers that cover its face, and the stronger its color.

There are some English budgies whose price has reached more than $1,500. There are also many Arab and foreign amateurs whose specialty is the English budgie. They produce it and work to improve its level by crossing new mutations and colors. Among the best colors that are not many available in large budgies are the rainbow color, Swing, in addition to the Fallo mutation.

2: Black-winged budgie (Blackwing)

This type of budgie is often only blue, green, and grey. In all colors, its wings are completely black, and the back of its tail is also black.

Blackwing Budgie is a sought-after mutation, and it is not cheap. Its price sometimes reaches $800, if the bird has good specifications, especially the gray and blue colors, which are more expensive than green.

The black-winged budgie mutation is not very old, but despite this, many Arab hobbyists have begun to produce it in significant quantities.

3: Black-headed budgie (blackface)

It is a new color mutation known as black face. This type of budgerigar is characterized by its dominant black color on the head, chest and back.

The black-headed budgie mutation is currently considered the most expensive of all, and its price may reach $3,000. Now all Arab enthusiasts buy it from European countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium…

Now the Arabs have begun working on it, such as Egypt, Morocco, and Iraq… and there are those who have also begun working on combining the black-winged budgie with the black-headed budgie.

4: Hugo budgie mutation

It is one of the most beautiful mutations of the budgerigar bird. The Hugo budgie is characterized by many colors and countless formations. It is known as the Hogo Romo bird, the Japanese Budgerigar, as well as the Rose Budgerigar or Butterflyback Budgerigar. This is because of its feathers, which distinguish it from the top of its back to the right and left, in the shape of a blooming rose.

It is almost one of the most expensive mutations, especially if the Hugo bird is crossed with other mutations such as:

1: Badji Latino:

The budgie, known as the Latino, is completely yellow in color, without any other color, and has red eyes.

After crossing the regular Hugo with the Latino, its price becomes more expensive.

2: Budgie Texas:

The Texas budgie is a color mutation that, if combined with the Hugo budgie, becomes expensive even more expensive than the Hugo Latino.

Texas Huco is known as one of the most expensive varieties in most Arab and international countries, but recently its price has begun to decrease because everyone is producing it.

3: Badji Follow:

This mutation is similar to the Texas Budgie, the only difference is the eye color. The Fawn Budgie has a red eye color, known among hobbyists as the Jamar-eyed Budgie.

If it is crossed with Hugo, it gives us Hugo Valo, which is more expensive than Hugo Texas and Hugo Latino.

4: Badji Rainbow:

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful color mutations, the Rainbow Budgie, in Arabic, the rainbow-coloured Budgie.

When you cross it with the Hoko mutation, you get the Hoko Rainbow, or Hoko Rainbow. The beauty of the rainbow colors becomes even more beautiful with the feathers and butterflies on his back.

5: English Hugo Budgie:

The English budgie, as we saw at the beginning of the topic, is a beautiful and expensive breed. But if it is crossed with a Hugo bird, and then gives you chicks of high specifications, large size with the head of an English budgie in addition to rose feathers on the back, it can become the most expensive budgie bird. Because the English Hoko budgie is rare and not widely available.

6: Budgie Leswing

The Budgie Swing variant is available in only two colours. White with red eye with light black or brown abovewing patterning. Or in white with the same decoration in black or brown.

When combined with Hugo, we have the Hoco Romo Swing mutation as seen in the image above. It is one of the mutations that is not widely available and its price is high.

There are also other Hogoromo mutations whose prices are currently considered very expensive because they are rare and not produced often, and they are the two mutations. Budgie Blackwing، And Budgie Blackface. If it is crossed with the Hugo mutation, we will get:

(Hugo Blackwing, Hugo Blackface).

But what if BlackWage and Blackface were merged with each other, and then with Badge Hugo ?

Final note:

Developed countries in the world of ornamental birds, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Germany… currently have all of these mutations that we mentioned.
