So I found a breeder who worked with me to find a new parakeet and I finally found him. Anyone know what color and mutation he is? (I'll submit a picture of his back in a few minutes) Also, taking ideas for names

Oh, he's beautiful, Bree! What HAS he been doing with his tail? It looks about as rough as poor December's!
Congratulations on your new little darling!

Haha, he had just finished bathing and hadn't gotten to preening his tail yet. It looks a lot better now. He also has 2 pieces of poop on the back of his head courtesy of one of the budgies he was caged with and I don't think he'd like me yanking them off much...

Is your little guy tame?
I see that he's near Shasta. What does Shasta have to say?

I just had this cage next to me while I was setting it up. Shasta is curious about the newcomer, but the newcomer is ignoring Shasta, which is driving Shasta crazy, so Shasta comes running to me (almost like a little kid being all like 'mom, he's being mean to me!')
He is tame, but he doesn't want to be handled right now, though I imagine that's probably more to do with his change of home today.

He is a Cobalt Goldenface Recessive pied. I think there might be a violet factor there too, but I'd need a photo in a brighter light source to be sure. A really lovely little man!

Hehehe sorry Sarah. My apartment is SOOOOO dark. It drives my mom crazy when she's here, but I couldn't care less. That was actually probably the brightest my apartment has been in the whole time I've been here.
I have Frozen Radio on right now from iTunes and both birds are just singing along happily. It's soooo funny to watch.
