Although perhaps that was key in her decision not to spend her time on an unhealthy baby? Surely, it's not just a matter of appearance that caused the mother to abandon it?

I researched it a little. He's what they call a feather duster budgie. It's a genetic mutation where the gene that controls feather growing doesn't turn off. The birds suffer muscle wasting and usually die before they're 8 months old. I tried to post links to what he is. I researched it a little. He's what they call a feather duster budgie.

It looks like the parakeet equivalent of a sheep dog. And, yes, it certainly does look like there is something wrong with it's legs and wings. Perhaps all that fluff is making it hard for him to walk about or move his wings. Still adorable in a mutant way. Aww! It looks like the parakeet equivalent of a sheep dog.

Not sure if it can see through the thicket of... err... fluff feathers? Cute or not: it should not be bred. Poor little guy. It apparently can't fly, it almost can't walk.

Not that I have any room to speak. Natural selection would have phased premie-Corinne out too. Really, he's awesome looking, it's true. But I'd like to meet him. I love birds. I have a Senegal, myself. :] Just a few posts from Darwin, here we are interfering in natural selection. Not that I have any room to speak.

And his little squeaks were adorable as well! I hope she doesn't breed him. Yeah it would be cute to have more, but not if there is something other than the excess feathers, that's wrong with him.
