Her name is Milly and i am fairly certain she is a girl and only about 3 months old. i think she is a olive normal, if i am wrong about the type can some one correct me.My husband was not quite happy, he said i am only supposed to be buying pieds at the moment but i could not resist her.

Olive only if her tail is navy blue. If her tail is black she is a grey green. I like the name you chose Link to comment

I called her Milly because i bought her to breed with Billie who is a grey spangle. i know she is too young yet but would they make a good pair and what would the outcomes be? she has settle in well, she can hear the birds in the aviary and has been calling out to them.
