I'd say he looks like a boy. And he's some kind of pied. Based on how clear the front of his body is, I would almost say either a double factor dominant pied, or some combination of more than one pied. Do you have any pictures of his back, so we can see what his wing markings look like? He's a cutie! Link to comment

Check the cheek patch if violet it is not Grey Green. The cheeks patches have lost there colour due to the action of the pied gene. As for being a double factor dom pied. Unless you know the breeding or will bred from this bird you will never know for sure. I have seen single factor pieds with this level of piedness. I am not 100% on this cause one photo makes me think cock and then I look at the second picture and I see hen. So for me jury is out for the time being. Link to comment

If so, they can be a danger to birds getting strangled etc. also sandpaper can make their feet sore so newspaper may be a better option. Don't know sex or mutation but it's a lovely bird.

I said it looked Grey Green ( I think I was on the laptop at the time and colour are different on there) that is why I followed with Quote: "Check the cheek patch if violet it is not Grey Green."
