They are both beautiful. I hope you are keeping both!Pulled out my #1 bird again today to get another look at him after another month of growth. Puts him at eight months. He is one heavy dude! His back measures plus nine inches from base of hackle to base of tail. Everything about him is x large. He is relaxed in the cage and doesn't get overly excited anymore when I open the cage door and smooth his feathers over his back and tail. Compared to my #3 pick, he still looks like the best male.The big guy is still #1 pick. He is smooth across the back. I feel no hump or cushion. #3 is lighter. Down ward sloping back.

I'm still really happy with this boy. Big, dark red, broad, and square.
