she looks like my Gladys. markings on a parakeet are like colors on all animals, no 2 are just a like. Saffron and Glady are the same type of birds yellow recessive pieds,
***Recessive Pied: No two pieds are exactly alike and the recessive pied is one of my favorite mutations. Unlike normal budgies, recessive pieds have two colors on the body. Usually this is a mix of some shade of blue with white or a shade of green with yellow. These colors are very "splotchy" in appearance and usually follow no set pattern. Their wing markings are also very inconsistent. Unlike normal budgies, recessive pieds will never develop an iris ring. (The iris ring is the light colored ring around the pupil of the eye which usually develops around 12 months of age.) Another interesting fact about recessive pieds is that the males do not get a blue cere when they mature. Instead, their cere will become pink.***
