January 27, 200718 yr sooooo he's a single factor dom pied, and yet looks like a double factor.. any thoughts? oh wait, remind me, is goliath a dom pied or not? am I forgetting something?
January 27, 200718 yr Author sooooo he's a single factor dom pied, and yet looks like a double factor.. any thoughts? oh wait, remind me, is goliath a dom pied or not? am I forgetting something? Goliath is a spangle
January 27, 200718 yr okay, so just the spangle.. no dom pied in the mix... That's cool.. you got a a double factor dom pied lookalike baby, but I'm sure he can only be single factor... so does that mean that there are dom pieds baby out there that looks like double factor dom pied?? I mean like little Beeper? Unless someone can enlighten me how he got the look.
January 27, 200718 yr well we just have to remember with the pied gene all of it is down to chance, there are guild lines to how the colour should look but they are not always followed Beeper is stunning.
January 27, 200718 yr Karen, is there any such thing as a boring day in your aviary?? Beeper is just as gorgeous as his siblings, beautiful colouring. Feathers.
January 28, 200718 yr Author Karen, is there any such thing as a boring day in your aviary??Feathers. No....
January 30, 200718 yr Karen your babies are beautiful, congratulations. I can't wait for the weather to cool off here so I can start breeding again.

January 31, 200718 yr Author Todays pictures of Beeper and Vinnie Four of Goliaths babies are in the fledgling aviary now. Beeper ( Goliath and Candys 5th baby ) is about to fledge from the nest of Sadie and Slick
January 31, 200718 yr Vinnie is such a big beautiful bird. I think my daughter tried to steal him away again yesterday. Sadie and Slick have done such a good job raising Beeper. Great decision in moving him.
January 31, 200718 yr Author Vinnie is such a big beautiful bird. I think my daughter tried to steal him away again yesterday. Sadie and Slick have done such a good job raising Beeper. Great decision in moving him. I tried to get a photo of BIG VINNIE up against some other birds but none of the others seem to want to sit next to him He is an imposing big boy. His first day in the aviary. Vinnie is far right Edited January 31, 200718 yr by Bubbles
January 31, 200718 yr Author Beeper just fledged at dusk, silly boy He did a little fly around and then clung to the aviary mesh for the night hanging by his beak I quickly popped him back in the nest. He can come out tomorrow if that is his wish.
January 31, 200718 yr Author Vinnie looks so worried in this picture. hehe. cute He is very aloof ......calm Edited January 31, 200718 yr by Bubbles
January 31, 200718 yr reminds me of my Merlin in coloring too that is a great shot of the coloration because it seems it can come out too blue or washed out.
January 31, 200718 yr Author reminds me of my Merlin in coloring too that is a great shot of the coloration because it seems it can come out too blue or washed out. Depends on light conditions too. Blue and violets so hard to photograph right. Always seems to work best taken in shade conditions.
