Unusual crested society finch

Post by Sheather » Sun Jan 01, 2017 4:14 pm

I found this girl in a Petsmart a few days ago and had to take her home. She has two crests, one normal "bowl-cut" hairstyle in front, and a tuft almost like you'd see on a blue jay on the back of her head. I've never seen one like her before!

That's an odd looking chick :shock:
Is it just feathers sticking out, or is her head misshaped underneath?

It's only an extra tuft of feathers.

I have one too! Got him at Petsmart as well. He is my best little singer, he sings his heart out all of the time. I couldnt help myself, I had to name him Donald, because he has "that hair" LOL. :)

Sometimes his crest gets messed up, its funny, its like he gets bed head.
