Shark Fin .

Hi All,

Somewhere I read about a long feathered birds wing being refered to as a shark fin? Couldn't find it in search.

Looking at my birds to-day I noticed Olly,( Dad of MY long feather's etc. chatting to his son.) Took this picture to see if this is what is meant by shark fin?

 

Ollyandsonisthisasharkfin.jpg son is the lower bird. Dad with ring.

 

Also adding pics of Aquarius's chick's. These in foster nest, Blue spangle & Cinn? in back left corner, are no 1&2 Chick's

Chick in corner looking into corner with blue tail showing cinnamon is HULK'S fostered chick. Cinn. looking out is foster mum's chick. (both mum& dad cinn)

Rest of Aquarius's clutch. Look's like a violet spangle? it's showing really violet already. Don't know about rest.

Also adding picture of Hulk's brood 8 from nine last one died, as well as Aquarius's 10th. Oldest in foster nest.

Look's like Dad is split? masking cinnamon as neither mum or Dad show it visually, I think verdict was cock can mask cinnamon but not hen? Hope I got that right.

 

Cheer's any answer's welcome. :hap:

Thank's Kaz. Just thought this section resembled a shark fin. Didn't look in show section for info.
