Blue?

Post by dfcauley » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:22 pm

I had another baby that needed to be handfed. Since I am waiting for the call for my surgery date which should be the next week or two I had to call on a friend to help me. Today I went to visit it and was very surprised..... I am almost certain it is a blue baby.
What do you think?
I wanted to bring it home so badly but she wouldn't give it up yet. :)

I'm not sure of the colouring. If it is all GREY then it's a blue. If there's green on it - then it's a green split to blue (assuming one of the parents is blue).

Best wishes for your surgery and a quick recovery, Donna!

I don't know if the color is blue for sure, but I see blue and green hints of color. Either way, the bird is beautiful! =D> =D>
