What did I find?

Went to the bird show on Saturday saw this guy and needed to buy him. He looks like "bad hair day budgie". Is this a crested? This bird was in a bin-o-budgies and cost the same as all the other birds, which were normal, in the cage.

I like the little guy. He and the blue are in my quarantine room and are now buddies.:)

Hmmmm....i've seen these before and i can't remember what they are. It is something to do with the crested gene i think but it affects feathers all over the body instead of just the head. Will try to find out more for you. :) Mutation wise i think he's a skyblue rec. pied.

which one is it

[annp]

The white one, with the curly feathers. The sky blue spangle is the bird I first wanted( ever since seeing pics of the oh so famous Blinkie the budgie:p ) and saw the white one while I was waiting for someone to finish up a sale. Had to have him too.

Nope, it's a type of crested. Like i said further up the post, something changes in the gene and it affects more feathers than just the head.
