My lovely yellow goldens.

I still can't quite believe that this is my bird now.
He is busy displaying again but the girls couldn't care less, and thankfully he isn't being aggressive at all.

He's just practicing for next season!

I don't actually have any proof of this but I believe that all the aerosol spraying (chem trails) they have been doing for years has had an effect of our birds.
Your cockbird has the same orange-ish colored plumage that mine do....I know that they can not be from the same blood lines. Mine use to have the bright yellow plumage, now they have the orange-ish or tangerine color plumage. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I have no other explanation.

How they use to be colored, the bright yellow!

I think my camera lies sometimes. My bird doesn't really have an orange tint on his main plumage but is a lovely bright yellow.

Sorry i have been off for a while. First I had far away guests over for a holiday and then I lost my precious dog, and it absolutely broke me.
For the first time in my adult life I have no dog. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
Good luck chasing butterflies on the other side, Chika.

I’m so sorry to hear this, beautiful pup

And that very same day, my little robin came back. I know it's all folk lore and nonsense, but a friend of mine told me about the ancient Brittish belief that robins are lost ones looking out for you and I found comfort in that.
"When robins appear, loved ones are near"
This is my wee buddy waiting outside the run.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I also lost my wonderful dog companion recently and this is the first time I've been without a dog. It's so heartbreaking. I hope you can remember the good memories without pain.
