My 3 indoor budgie aviary babies are now 5 weeks! Their coloring is WILD and I just welcomed 5 more chicks (2 scarlet tuxedo, 1 EB pansy looking bird with black legs, 1 Tibetan tuxedo but with light legs/pink beak, and one EB pansy looking bird with chocolate brown legs) so I’d love some opinions on what these are:
Parents are mixed flock bred, and are in a mixed flock themselves they carry: roux (including a scarlet roo), EB, fee, fawn (one Manchurian fee), pansy, sparkly, and enhanced brown.
Bird 1:
I have NEVER seen mottled wings like this before! They literally have 4-5 either fully white, or white banded flights on each wing, dispersed randomly, but no other white markings
I really like the two stripes of red feathers around the edge of the breast.
Bird 2: of note— this bird had prominent wild-type striping as a chick, but has EB legs
Bird 3:
Brown chest is an Italian roo trait yes? Is this bird just a wild looking Italian?! Or some weird form of Pharaoh? Can those two be co-dominant?
