My exact same thought! Followed by "uumm... Photoshop." But then I saw the video... I'm convinced.

Wow isn't that something.....There's currently a red stripped and yellow budgy at the avian store that the owner is hanging on to as it's also a very rare coloration, looks like a red Zebra. Never seen one like that either....I'll get some pic's next time I stop in....you have to see this.

Wow! That's just amazing. I'd love to go and see him. I hope he's a long lived one!

A red zebra striped budgie? Yes, please do, I've got to see it. What bird store are you referring to? That's almost worth the drive to x-mas town from here just to see it!

This budgie looks very astonishing but it is not a true variety, because the trait is not genetically inherited. It is actually a result of genetic abnormalities, a form of congenital chimerism, in which fraternal twin zygotes fuse together at a very early stage in the womb, forming one individual creature.

That totally freaks me out, because those are the colours of my budgies.

Wow...that's awesome! I saw a pic of this online but I didn't really look at it because I thought it was photoshopped. Hmmmm....if I had one of those and a mirror I could probably convince my granddaughters that I got them EACH a birdie..

 

[Mekaisto]

Yep! This is the result of two twins fusing! In this case both were male, but when you start getting males and females mixing, things can get a little weird:

What a beautiful bird!
