Sorry for the picture quality, my camera is on the way out and it's really hard to get good photos. Sadly it has washed out Padfoot's face, because it is a beautiful yellow colour. Hopefully Santa will bring me a new camera this year for Christmas.

 

These are three birds that live in my parents aviary outside, I own two of them (which I hope to breed next year) and the other hen is my fathers pride and joy.

 

Ophelia:

1 year old Golden Faced Hen

 

 

This is the detail on her back

 

 

I got Ophelia and another bird at the bird auction for only $24, he was selling Ophelia because he thought she was extremely ugly. I think she is one of the most beautiful hens I have seen.

 

Padfoot

2 year old Yellow-faced cock.

 

 

As you can see, his yellow face has been washed out in this photo.

The detail on his wings and back, including his patch.

 

 

Birdie:

3 year old yellow-faced grey hen

 

 

The detail on her back and wings.

 

 

And there you go, they are three of my favourite birds in my parent's aviary. There are other birds that I like, but these are the three most striking ones to look at. I hope to breed Ophelia and Padfoot next year, after I build myself a breeding cage.

Very pretty colours!

I love the first hen and the cock in the second picture. I think the 1st hen is so so preety. The gy selling her must have been Brad pitt to comment as such.
