HezzJust a few photos to show Iris' Odd Flight feathers for you. I didn't realise it was that unusual, but I don't think I have had a budgie with this before.

Unusual or not, it doesn't keep her from flying around and sticking her cere in everybody's business!

I had a closer look earlier and it's 3 flight feathers that are white on that one side. I don't know if it's clear enough on this photo.  |

This was the one that first made me realise a) that I had missed this side or her, and b) how pretty she was.  |

I seem to recall we spoke of this a while back when you inquired about what mutation she was. She's a clearflight pied with incomplete expression, which is common with all pieds, and this accounts for the partial expression of pied on her flights. Some clearflights have no pied flights at all and only have the pied patch on the back of the head.
Regardless, she's a beauty. Perhaps the loveliest cinnamon-pied combo I've ever seen.
