They are very lovely but aside from that, I don't know!
Welcome!

Is the top one a yellowface and the middle one a clearwing?

I'm guessing a type 1 yellowface recessive pied, and a ?single-factor grey dominant pied. Super adorable.

I'm guessing a type 1 yellowface recessive pied, and a ?single-factor grey dominant pied. Super adorable. I do think they both are dominant pied, but we would need a photo of the back of the yellow face type 1 (sky blue or cobalt) to make a more educated guess. … Or wait until she matures to see if she gets an iris ring. Neither are clearflight pieds If a grey, and it seems to be by cheek patches, I wonder if he is carrying a violet gene. Doesn’t look to be a true grey to me.

I’ve tried to get some photos of her back though it was hard 😂 as for the male he is like a blue Grey colour it’s quite unusual. Hezz

Thanks for the photos; Ira was correct, she is a recessive pied. . Good pick up, Ira. Have her long tail feathers been trimmed?

Just a lucky guess, Hezz, because I've never seen a dominant pied with colour just at the bottom of there tummies like that. Doesn't mean their aren't though, I'm always been surprised by something new.

Hezz Yes my mum clipped her wings for training when we first got her and her tail feather, I wasn’t in the room at the time she did it and wasn’t impressed when I came Back..🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for the information 😊

She probably won’t moult them all out at the one time, but in 12 months they should all be gone.

Great thanks 😊 I have a new question 😅 I got Alfie the female yellow one nearly 5 months ago thought she was a boy as that’s what I asked for but began questioning it a few months ago. Anyways she is slightly tame in that I can feed her millet and she is comfortable but anything else and she bites or runs away, she is not keen on coming out of her cage at all I have tried numerous times.. I recently just over a week ago got my little grey boy Stevie, they are separated atm and eventually I want to put them together. After a week he eats from my hand and has started to understand when I say finger that he should get on, he is comfortable with me changing feed bowls and water and although it’s early days I don’t know when I should introduce the two together? I want to get him more tame in the hope he will teach her etc should I continue to keep them separated while I work with him? I just feel like when I put him in there with her that he will no longer want nothing to do with me 😕 but I also don’t want Alfie the girl to be lonely..anyone have any advice or been in a similar situation?

My experience with introducing a new budgie to "the flock" is, you'll lose the new budgie. I am told that if you keep the new bird separated for several months before the introduction, the budgie will remain tame. In my case I haven't been able to maintain separate budgies for longer than a month due to various circumstances so I haven't tested that theory. My newest boy, Herman has remained partially finger tame since he joined the flock but he has little interest in me these days. He is absolutely consumed by his new bird friends.
