Picked up a couple of new birds after my boy Aegon flew off a couple of weeks back (literally escaped the cage and squeezed out under the door).

 

The df dom pied is the spitting image of him in most aspects which I planned as I wanted his mutation for my breeding plans. The little female was just an unplanned pick-up.

 

 

 

Very nice birds, the pied looks like he might be spangle.

 

Budgies can get out of the smallest gap, sorry for your loss

I was thinking that but wasn't sure. Do you think/know if the markings might get darker with age and moults?

 

I almost lost Alaric the same way but he's clipped so I found him exhausted and petrified in a ditch in my yard so he's safe back in the cage. I've covered it in budgie wire now so it's impossible for them to get out again unless they turn themselves into soup while doing so!
