Oops,sorry FB but it goes by the under lining body colour,green,yellow pied and brown,white pied in most birds but not all.The true pied OB is white pied which bucks the trend and if it is yellow it generally moults out in a few moults.finchbreeder wrote:Bad Craig. I have noticed two distict types of pieding on finches. Those that have flights and maybe a feather or two of pied. Most common type with Ruddies. And those that are light to heavily speckled with yellow most common with O/B's and Parroties. Interestingly enough the flights and a feather type seems to be most common where the pied feathers are white, and the speckled type seems most common where the pied feathers are yellow. Zebras and Javas however do not conform. That is why I asked.

I believe that Bills Saints might have a deficiency with that white across the wings which is very common in young saints,a pic could tell a better story in another topic.Sorry to be off topic. Cheers Craig
