I was at Midwest Shows in Joliet on the 28th. I am thinking she is gray

They are cute and eating well and flying about
here is a linky about their shows:

They have 3 shows a month, Rolling Meadows IL, Joliet IL & Bridgeton MO I have been going to the Joliet & Rolling Meadows shows for about 12 years now and they have many quality breeders and toys, cages, etc. Nice friendly people.

I go to the one in bridgeton..St. louis, that's where I got my green singer male and a nice euro black and grey crested society. I am hoping to see the guy there again and get a couple more. He wasn't there last month...I do have his name and phone number though. I should check. I do love your grey!

Ashgate - They are gorgeous! I can't help except to say I do believe you have a fawn. I can't decide which one I like more - they are both stunning!
I am hoping

to attend the Feb. St Louis, Mo show - I've never been to a show before so I am excited!
It's cool to see other Illinoisians on the board!
