Ok a year has passed now and I have breed from the pied bird and other ones from the birds I believe passed on the pied gene in the same aviary.I have had about 4 young out of one batch and there is a few more there now.Some of the first 4 young have a few white feathers.And the one in the photo below has twice as many white feathers as last years pied.Although I could not get a photo of it in the holding aviary and the ones I took dont do it justice. The other young I have not seen up close yet.

Could it possible be any of these genetic traits autosomal dominant, recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked or other?

Same amount of pied on both sides.

Did you breed brother to sister to get this? Or what did you use? Flighted pied looks good.
And what is happening with your Gouldian Chris?

Gomer Hi mate to me that doesn't look pied,it looks more like a deficiantcy? In my early days, i bred alot of young birds like that in particular orange breasts
sainthelenas and even cordons.Some hold it for a couple of moults and then it dissapears.I haven't had that problem since feeding more than one live food and
feeding purpose made vitamin and mineral supplements cheers Craig
