You found English Budgies? I'm so jealous! lol Your gray male is gorgeous- I'm partial to that color mutation. Congratulations on your beautiful birds.
(Lovely Rosey Bourkes, too)

Thank you, I've named my grey and white budgie Decoda and my green one Willow

Tish: I like their names. Where did you find your English Budgies? Very difficult to source here. The few breeders I have found either no longer breed them or are asking high prices plus high shipping costs. So, a bit too much of an investment for a pet bird at this time.
I would be interested in differences you have observed between your American (Standard) Budgies and your English Budgies.

they are hard to find here in my area, but lucky enough to come across them in a local pet valu. I will let you know what observed between the Standard and English, right now the English are getting settled in :) I might be changing their name, I slept on it and now not sure if I want those names.
