Your little's color looks like a darker shade of indigo. Indigo is a deep bluish shade w undertones of purple or violet.

he is a quaker/monk no doubt i've never had a parrotlet breed (pacific or celestial) before and he is my very first quaker lol. when i bought him,his wings are clipped too. still have trauma about touching its wings, i can understand him.. he is not only once special boy i have a zebra finch with have very similar problem at this point he is luckier than the zebra f,he only have one finger one foot.. but for now i just have questions for this little boy I want to at least know if it's normal

Was he born missing some toenails or was he injured? I have a baby budgie born with both feet deformed. What do you do to accommodate his disability?

i really dont know,he was like that when i bought him but probably his parents ate his nails,i saw this thing my old baby cockatiels (they died) and their nails was one morning just gone..
actually i was tought it will be life problem for him and i was get a ladder (for easy climbing) but he live perfectly like a normal bird and ate his ladder
his cage is small for now ( same reason) i will change that then, if dont forgot i will share it too
if your budgie have same problem like my boy she/he is gonna live mostly normal but if you talking about like "cross legs/foot" (sorry i cant remember this things name in ing) then probably you gonna use small cage for she/he too bcs its so hard for them i hope your little angel's life be easy

I had two Lutino cockatiels that had missing nail/claws.
I always assumed it was due to a genetic mutation (poor breeding) and not mutation in the nest.

Each toe with a missing nail appeared to have an extra fleshy segment in its place.

And they got around fine inside and outside the cage.

Baby Joey already leads a gifted life. We're devoted to all our budgies, and we will do whatever's best for Joey. Ideally, she will join the flock and be a happy budgie. As much as we hate the thought, if her two deformed toes prove to be a big health concern (pressure sores, mainly) we will have our Avian vet remove those toes. In the meantime, she's our baby and she's in no rush to grow up.

I think your feathered friend may be a cobalt Quaker. In the picture he looks a little darker than the standard blue Quakers. It looks like his toenails were bitten off and the ends of the toes are pink because they healed after the nails were lost.

Has anyone see the blue Quaker on YouTube that dances and says "makin' bacon pancakes"?
