PeeWee is beautiful! However, she is not cinnamon. A brownish cast on yellow-based budgies is normal as their feathers reflect a bit of yellow mixed in with the greyish black of their wing markings, making them appear dark brown in some cases. Cinnamon budgies have 20-40% body color dilution like opaline budgies do and their markings are noticeably light brown!

They are both adorable.

Keep in mind that the majority of members on here are novices and we have no way of knowing someone’s experience unless they specifically say so. Even I who has worked in a wood shop for over five years did not look at that photo and immediately recognize them as balsa wood.

Thank you for clarifying
