This is normal for your bird. He is a Yellowface type 2 these bird get a bleed though of yellow in to the body area with each molt. Some get so much that they start to look like a normal green.

Agree with all Nerwen has said.

 

PS check budgie for scaleyface. There is an edge to the cere which can be the early signs of scaley face and also the legs and feet are looking a little scaley. If you arent sure, ivermectin spot on treatment

( one drop between the shoulder blades ) is a good choice and also wipe the feet with unscented baby oil.

Cheers karen

okay thanks I've got a bottle of scaley face treatment
