Yes i agree about the muffs. I have two birds with slight feather feet. At the louiville pigeon show, there were some with huge muffs and they often were stained green from droppings.

The oops babies were out in the aviary today and under natural light #744 has some dark bronze color that I haven't seen in any of my birds before. I'll try to get a pic later. Too bad I don't have more room, this pair makes some beautiful birds...except that 744 is a bit behind in growth. Side by side you would not say they were nest mates.

I have a problem with that also. My birds dont "hover" over their first egg they will often brood it right away. So i often have two dif sized squabs in the nest.

This was the first time for me. I hope now that he is starting to eat on his own he'll be fine. I did notice him walking funny- kept lifting his right leg and shaking it like he had something stuck to his foot. I hope it's nothing serious. It doesnt prevent him from getting around so far.

Nice! Some very pretty birds. I really like those fantails.
What was the larger blue bird with the big Mohawk peacock-like headgear? And the tiny blue ones with the yellow chests were gorgeous! Beautiful sanctuary they have. (Although I thought one near the end looked dead in the yard, I hope it was just a few sunbathing together lol)

Big blue mohawk bird is a pigeon A very big one. I saw some at a zoo this summer. They're Victoria Crowned pigeons.

Or maybe also a blue-crowned, since I think those look very similar. There might be more that look very similar too.
