Thanks all, well i think if today is anything to go by she should be pleased. I removed his towel today and had a cage re shuffle, he is now in Bailey's old cage which is a better size. I put him in the dining room for a while where it is brighter and of course Iris heard him from the conservatory, she was beside herself bless her, it's the most vocal ive heard her for a month. I think i should leave him in the sitting room until quarantine is up .

Jasper is unusual looking, he looks like some sort of pied, opaline, skyblue spangle?

Jasper is unusual looking, he looks like some sort of pied, opaline, skyblue spangle? He is Marianne, i can't quite figure him out. Fran asked if he was pied but he hasn't got the spot on his head, it's just white and his wing markings aren't uniform at all.

Well his flights are clear, white, which would possibly rule out spangle? but he has flecking on his back and top of wings. Any idea's would be gratefully received

He has the pied markings, both back and belly. Not sure that you would notice a pied spot with him being opaline. I’d say he is a sky blue opaline dom pied. His blue markings across his chest fit more with dom pied than recessive in my opinion.

Well hello Jasper! I am sure Iris is going to be delighted to meet you by the sound of things. So many new little budgies on the forum at the moment, exciting times ahead!
Mutations wise I'm with Ira - Stunner 😉

It sounds like he is settling in just fine. It's good that Iris will have some company in a few weeks, quarantine does drag though...

He is absolutely gorgeous and I may be biased but I love his name. I reckon Iris will fall in love at first sight.

Jasper is lovely. I'm sure Iris will appreciate his company. I'm glad it's already cheered her up hearing him.
