We start to think our budgie is a English budgie Could that be so ?
If we look on her head, spots, eyes and cheeks ?
I posted a compare picture also

Lovely budgie. She certainly looks like she could well be. What’s her name?

She is very pretty. I like her white head patches and white wing feathers. Sorry I can't answer your question.

In Danish her name is Piphans, Its a often used name.
Since the name refers to a bird that chirps alot.
Sort of like Vuffydog or miavcat or squeakymouse
Its just like calling ur pet for the noise it makes and then what animal it is.
I dont think there is a real explanaition for her name but she seems to like the name Piphans. She becomes calm and focused when she sits on my finger, and i call her piphans several times a day in hope she learns it
We tryed different names but endet up with a nose attack holding her to close to our face

I don’t see signs of exhibition breeding in her. Extra throat spots are not indicative of exhibition breeding; these are generally much bigger birds with extra feather growth and length around the head. What does she weigh?

I agree with Hezz ; she does not appear to be exhibition-type. She's lovely, though. The clearflight pied mutation is especially attractive on a light green bird.

As Hezz suggested, the weight can give you an indication. Regular budgies will weigh between 25-35 grams while the exhibition type will more likely be around 55-65 grams. Have you weighed her? This is something you should do regularly because a change in weight can be an indication of a health issue before your budgie shows any outwardly symptoms.

My pet type budgies usually weigh between 40 and 45g (apart from Monty, he was only 30g, but he was a titch)
My exhibitions were 50+

I wonder if they are bred for a larger size in the UK? Just get a baseline weight on her an then monitor her weight.

We just weigh her today and the scale said 44 grams. Its hard to make a budgie sit still But we dit it twice and im sure it was 44 grams.
So she is a regular budgie type ? Not any English or dutch ?

We prefer the terms pet-type or normal, and exhibition or show breed, since budgies originated from neither England or Netherlands. She is a normal budgie, not exhibition.

Today my mother showed me she trained our bird to get inside her cage when told to. When she has been out and been active for some time, then she sits on the roof of her cage to chill, then my mother says " Piphans Get in !" in a strict tone like when you tell a dog to sit or do a command. Then she instant climbed down the roof and got inside the cage..that was amazing and funny to watch the way she reacted Then we tells her she is a good bird gg
