Right one - LIME GREEN RECESSIVE PIED?????
Middle and Right one - Normal green budgie

These varieties arent SPECTACULAR because I bred them for size BUT, I GOT A RECESSIVE PIED??????? Trust me I was NOT expecting that! I just figured it out how it happened!

So the mom of this clutch is actually the child of pair #2's mum. And pair #2's mum is split for recessive pied as I got to know it after breeding her with a rec pied male and getting rec pied chicks! So that means, this mum is split for rec pied! And the dad is.. guess who. THE MIDDLE CHILD OF THE CLUTCH THAT STARTED THIS THREAD! YES! Now I've bred his father too so it's very unlikely he got the rec pied gene from them. So I'm guessing he got it from him mum MEANING that she's split of rec pied too!! It's so fun when these unexpected things happen while breeding birds!!

Does pied mean the baby has green, yellow, and blue?

That gives me a reason to update the budgie mutations thread!

Rec pied basically means the bird will have a huge white or yellow spot on its head and the head barring that they have never disappear! Their eyes never gain an iris ring and the male's cere stay pink forever! Its like an adult budgie who looks like a toddler! I find them really cute! The gene is also recessive as the name suggests. And white based rec pieds will have a generally white body with splashes of blue and a yellow based rec pied budgie will have green splashes! Really pretty too!

Someone told me years ago its called split to pied not split to recessive pied. Not sure as I dont breed rec pieds as not a fan of them as you cant breed two rec together

Split to pied wont make sense as there's nothing called a pied mutation in budgies, its either dominant pied or recessive pied, so I'll say what you heard is wrong? And wdym by you cant breed two rec together???

Due to a lethal gene most of the eggs either dont hatch or they dont live long as they are weaker same with breeding two inos...ive tried both before neither clutches ever hatched so tossed out those mutations and wont breed those again not a fan of either.
