Bliss's pin feathers!

Postby GMV » Sat Aug 23, 2014 7:54 am

bliss is exploding with pin feathers, we will know his/her gender soon enough!
Right now his head is getting more yellow in certain areas, and the body is getting a bit darker in certain areas. Does this have meaning?

AHA! I told you this was going to happen soon. It's the juvenile molt and yes, it's common for contour feathers to change color when this happens.

as you can see, at the beginning of his molt, the front of his head is becoming less dul, and dark yellow and more bright, and bold.
