Very pretty colours, looking very vibrant. I was also going to comment on the 2nd ones performance of his lovely blow, but someone else beat me to it EDIT: also, I was just wondering how you get the air out of a birds crop? I have had one of my chicks with a crop full of air, but I don't know what to do! He was acting a little off yesterday (not moving much, a little unresponsive) but today his crop had less air and more food, and he seemed a bit better.
