How They Change

Here is a pic of one of my favorite birds as a squeaker:

Here she is today:

I wonder if she will have any brown left in a couple of years.

Re: How They Change

Hey Michael......I noticed that same color transformation too. Especially in the Almond colors... No matter which family or strain it's in.

Re: How They Change

I don't believe she's an Almond. She is a Bronze Mottle. Most of the Mottles will molt in more white. Check out the transformation of this bird before and after the molt:

Re: How They Change

I don't know what her parents were - my log book was destroyed by my puppy. :yikes!:

She really performs though - lots of crazy maneuvers and deep rolls.

I think she is a mottle too. But, I am not good at recognizing the colors & patterns.

Re: How They Change

Yep,bronze mottle. I've got some here. They all whiten up more and more after the molt. I like them as squeaks the best also.
