Awwww welcome little Lemon , your traumatic past will soon be a distant memory, prepare yourself for the best of the rest with your new mum and family . She/he doesn't look very old but i guess there is always a chance she wont develop Iris rings with her colouring. She reminds me of my Iris with her pretty wings . Lemon is a green spangle like George, but he/she has the pied thumbprint on the back of the head. Surely Lemon will develop an iris?

Ahhh yes, i couldn't see the thumbprint of the dominant pied, she should indeed develop her iris

Judging by this photo, I think he/she is a clearflight pied; what markings does s/he have on the belly?

That is one lucky budgie who was twice lucky: to be rescued by a quick-thinking and fast-acting good samaritan and re-homed in a vitual budgie paradise. Thanks to both of you. What a fine and happy story this is.

I agree with everyone - Lemon is a lucky budgie who is going to have a wonderful life. She/he is also very cute

It's just dawned on me that Lemon looks a bit like Criswell too. Hezz and skysmum I tried to get a photo of the pied print on the back of Lemons head but he/she doesn't want to turn his back on me Was quite happy chomping away on oats while I changed the newspaper on the bottom of the cage, but the moment I got my camera it was the enemy! So is that clearflight and pied and spangle? or am I wrong about spangle?

Hezz in answer to your question, no markings on the belly, it's all green.

Yes, you can just about see the pied print on the back of Lemon's head in the last photo.

OOOOOH!!! I seem to have missed the beginnings of all this. What a little beauty and how lucky to be rescued by somebody we know (who loves budgies as much as we do ninz!) You are so lucky Marianne Marlow, once the scaley face has gone, he/she will be a little stunner. So pleased you have got little Lemon.

Soo, yes, Marianne - clearflight pied spangle .... Lemon is very definitely a spangle, and a very pretty one at that!! PS Can see enough of the pied print in a couple of the photos, so no worries about upsetting the poor birdy for any more.

We're just happy to have Lemon here and for he/she to be safe! Hezz don't worry, Lemon wasn't upset. There has been a lot of mirror bashing today, how quickly they learn
