A single Anthracite factor has a similar effect to the Dark mutation, causing a Skyblue to become Cobalt in appearance - as was suspected with the English Grey.

The description is virtually identical, and the cobalt appearance of a Skyblue with a single Anthracite factor is exactly what was suspected for the English Grey. The interaction of the Anthracite and Dark budgerigar mutations has not yet been investigated. It is expected that a combination of the
