They do. Are they having a chat in the first one? Has Max stopped saying anything now? Not that it was that clear

Yes, Max was chatting to Chipper and trying to impress him.. He has stopped trying to talk, he carried it on for a week but then stopped and now he sings just like the others. They do. Are they having a chat in the first one? Has Max stopped saying anything now? Not that it was that clear

Found this, yellowfacedviolet - what he thought on Max’s mutations etc He does appear to be a SF Spangle Recessive Pied. I suspect there's a dilution mutation in the mix as well--I'd guess clearwing. I'm getting only the slightest hint of yellow on my monitor. If that's there in life, then he's likely also a SF Yellowface Type I I'm having trouble determining from the photos whether he's a cobalt or mauve. Do you know? Did the breeder mention it? So putting it all together, Max appears to be a: SF Yellowface Type I, SF Spangle, Clearwing, Cobalt (or Mauve) Recessive Pied

If I can stick my oar in here … because of course I know nothing, but a tiny bit of research will tell you: Cinnamon budgies have plum eyes as chicks; they are black on maturity. Other chicks that hatch with plum eyes, and are dark at maturity are recessive pieds, DF spangles and dark eyed clears. Some plum eyes are easier to discern than others. The inos, lacewing and fallows hatch with red, not plum, eyes and stay red in maturity. Would that not explain it? ?

So, what you are saying that is when he reaches maturity his eyes wont be red anymore because he's a recessive pied? But if they are after 12 months then he's likely to be a fallow I'll keep an EYE on it.

I know I’m biased but a gorgeous boy couldn’t resist having his photo taken
