All heavy pieds for sure!!!!! Be careful if you go to breed any of these with another the mutation their offspring will be pied or carry the pied gene....pied is stubborn and can ruin certain mutations.

Now if you want to create a totally white pied breed your almost whietest pied to another pied and do this for a couple of more generations, you'll eventually end up with a saddleback and if you keep doing this you'll end up with a totally white pied!!! It is interesting how the pied gene "erases" the color in the bird. I wish they had different pied colors instead of white like they do lovebirds, some of mine were red pieds....that would make for an interesting zebra finch!
