just a quick question, with pied birds do 2 light pieds give light pied young ?
and how do you get heavier pieds?
any good sites or articles you can point me towards would be great

Just finished reading an article in Just Finches (Issue 26) Its a breeder profile. The article recommends pairing a heavily pied bird to a light pied. A pairing of heavily pied birds together will result in the young having poor feather quality.
Doesn't mention what happens with two lightly pied.
