Yo Dave,
Nothing to worry about mate....the tail colour will moult off within 6 months.....sit back and enjoy the 20 bucks
Q: Do you sell the birds you breed or keep them in your aviary?? Big $$ in budgie breeding?
What? Chubba Chubs is almost a year old and hasn't moulted them out.
I did look at the ring, Dave, it was PH1 something, but they wouldn't let me hold it.
