I was in bed by 9pm so you're not alone.

I would have been but my son and girlfriend asked for a ride as they were going out. I gave them until 11:00.

My new year is made! The lutino pearl I had selected to keep (so she stayed in the nestbox for her parents to raise) I discovered today is actually a cinnamon lutino pearl. The cinnamon gives a very subtle lavender wash and you can see it more in her tail feathers (which is where I spotted it). There was a very low chance of one popping out from that pairing.

Now to breed her a suitable mate.

I've been doing a bit of nest swapping to keep ages closer together (the last 2 clutches had big age gaps between the first chicks and their siblings so they got rearranged), but these are the older 2 who I had to bring in because they were starting to get plucked.
This is the lutino's sister:

I can't tell this ones gender from its mutations, but it looks very like its dad in its face.

His dad is in this photo on the left with his adopted son, Dragon, and his mate, Opal.
