Sky blue dominant pied opaline spangle (what a mouthful):

 

 

Are you sure he is dom pied spangle ?? Are you aware that spangles often have a patch on the back of their head due to earlier pied involved in their breeding many many moons ago If you think he is dom pied just becasue of the patch then you may find he is really just a spangle with the "spangle patch" .

 

QUOTE>>>>>>>>>>Another anomaly is the appearance of Spangles with the head patch, similar to that of the Dominant Pied variety, further indicating that a link between those two varieties might exist. http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/specialist/spang/spghalib.html

 

 

QUOTE>>>>>>>>>>>Another problem we are facing with some Spangles in their appearance with a Dominant Pied head patch. Although history tells us that Pieds were involved in the Spangle production, the Colour Standards has made no allowance for history unfortunately. So should Spangles with head patch win on the show bench because of the bird's quality? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/k_jones/clwyd...gle_variety.htm

He would have to be a Pied wouldn't he..I can see white patches on his front.

Mind if I ask, where did you find that cage? Have been on the lookout for a nice roomy cage but they are impossible to find!

I am pretty sure he is pied, he's a bit patchy in the front - but I'll have to have another look when I get home because now I'm not sure!

 

wild_spot: I got that one on ebay, a real bargain Try doing a search for "flight cage", I think that's how I found it.
