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.

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!

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..:rolleyes:

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:
