Got momma off the nest this evening and snapped a few quick photos.
Did think she was a pure YF but never had a proper good study of her, now i have I'm not so sure There are just two suspect orangey feathers in her crown. Gutted
Definatly a yellow/red hybrid...Note the red feathers in the crown and the orange 'tinge' to the crown.
pure breed yellows are a clear but pailish yellow, which usually brightens slightly after a couple moults.
You see the kakariki in the page header at the top, that winks at u?
He winks for a reason, look close at the crown..bit like your crown but colours reversed. _________________ My Spelling is Not Incorrect...It's 'Creative'
just my 2 cents but a good solution, if you have enough space, would be to keep this bird as foster or tutor the weaning youngsters
to breed I think it's better if you look for a bird with better characteristics _________________ AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
