You had me for a minute and then I thought no it can't be because even the beak is smeared looking right now - this hen wouldn't molt and look horrid! It seems she is done now and looks so much better!

I meant oops that I pointed it out not realizing you were thinking it's a girl.. I'm not convinced it's a hen!! LOL

I just looked again - he is a girl Thank goodness I've had a few hens with that color gray and some of my males almost look BH instead of that pale gray color on some...

I was finally able to figure out video on my phone, they look much better on my phone compared to You Tube

The first video is of Igor and Peyton trying to get sugar from Madelein

I took so many videos and only these were short enough to upload from my phone. I got an awesome one of Igor getting scratched like a dog but it was too long.

Enjoy

Misty...they are wonderful. Made me smile...a happy flurry of color and activity! I loved the one of your two little ones trying to get love from your daughter, is there a little competition for her affection?

Thanks Cindy

No not normally - Peyton usually doesn't want attention anymore but Igor thought he did and set him straight. When I was cleaning today I had Igor, Peyton and Bumble Bee on me... they land on my back when I'm bent over cleaning and when I stand up they just hop up to my shoulder - this goes on and on the whole time.

Then in the girl flight Mary will do the same and now she has other hens landing on me that are not tame but trust her I guess. I feel like a tree most of the time! It is like "Don't mind Mom she doesn't care if we hop all over her and leave nuggets behind" Silly birds!

[CandoAviary]

Beautiful, Happy Birds. I could watch birds bath anytime. It does have a way of making you smile

[lovemyfinch]

Love them all
