Honestly it's like they are glued at the hip, Jasper and Mabel too, spring is in the air I have to admit, i do look at them and think God you would make the most scrumptious babies , im sure we all do that though. Holly is around 6 months now and still no signs of iris rings at all, i wonder if she might be a recessive pied, she has so many hidden colours in there.

Barney is well over a year and I am pretty sure he doesn't have iris rings either!
Can't show you a close up of him as he's scared of the camera.

I managed to see Barney up close yesterday evening, he does have iris rings, but they are not as prominent as the other budgies, I have no idea why this is.

Strange isn’t it, Holly’s are jet black still, not even a dark grey ring, I would have thought if hers was going to change it would have done by now.

Hmmmm, im trying to think if ive had any others like it, i think PC Bertie but then he was boardering on Lutino i think. She's an odd one for sure, looks like someone has dipped her in various paint pots closest i can get with the scary monster camera

Bit of an incident here in Budshire today. Everybud was having such a lovely time in the bath that i reached for the camera and started to click, as you do. I think they all got a bit over excited, especially Holly who decided that she wanted the bath all to herself, all of a sudden poor Jasper started shouting and i realised she had his wing in her beak Poor gentle Jasper is now nursing a sore wing, little madam. She got so soaked that she couldn't fly and fluttered to the floor, i left her there pottering about while i checked the poor boy out and told her she could think about what she had done down there, did she care, of course not, little Minx that girl Naughty Minx, cleared them all out Poor Jasper, hes such a gentle soul, he's ok though, it stopped bleeding quite quickly
