I think he's fully feathered now, and looks like some pied mix to me.

A cute looking juvie weanling for certain.

Thanks! :)

I haven't trimmed his beak at all.

I think he started singing very early I kept hearing a weird squeaky sound before I knew he was male for sure and suspected it was that. Its gradually improved and more recognizable as a song. He's been practicing allot. I wish I could get better pictures now, he's really cute in person. Ha ha

I just bet he is.
Has he remained tame for you?

He's pretty independent but he will still hop on my hand etc. Still coloring up. He sleeps in his little hut every night. <3

He sure turned out into a gorgeous looking birdling.
Looks like cfw with something else thrown in.

I'm so glad to see him doing well and thriving against pretty tough odds :D
