Hi there and :welcome: to the forums!

Your wee boy is adorable! Nugget is a very cute name :)

Do you have any photos taken in natural light, especially of his wings? I'm really intrigued by his very dark wing patterns and wanted to look a little closer 😅

Meanwhile you've come to a great place to learn even more about the best of budgie care practices, if you have any questions after browsing the forums feel free to ask as we'd love to help.

Hope to see you around! 👋

yes thanks, added more pics of nugget

after some curiosity I went into a deep dive into budgie variations, anthracite and opaline. now I believe he could have descended from anthracite but probably not. (slightly believe this due to how dark his wings are)

Nugget is an extremely beautiful budgie! 💜💜💜
I will be very interested in what mutation @StarlingWings determines him to be.

I would recommend you remove the wooden dowel perches in the cage and replace them with natural wooden perches of varying diameters to help prevent pressure sores.
