[Painted Calls]

She better win me something otherwise I may just put her out of my misery. She's embarrassing looking.

Quit talking about that poor nekkid girl like that. Bless her little prickly heart.

This bird is the first time I saw or even heard of "hard molt".... I was freaked enough to post in the DISEASE forum!

Here's how she looks a couple days after the first pic I posted in this thread.

Great pictures! I merged your two posts together,

I might not have any entries for this! I guess they all molted in summer.

When she gets on the other side of this she will be beautiful.

I was wrong about Mari molting a couple months ago. So, so wrong.

Here she is Thursday, getting some grass in before winter arrives fully. She lost 90% of these feathers since Monday.

And...today. Oh, Mari.

She's very cold. I made sure she got some extra scratch this morning, but it's hard not to bring her in!

Great entries everyone!
