So he's growing a necklace or a necktie? How old is Manu now?  di

Phoebe has had about 5 red neck feathers and a splattering of them on her legs--they were there when I got her at 11 years and her first mom said they started coming in when she was maybe 7-8 years old.  I've recently seen that she had one bright red one on her back, hidden by the wing but she was flapping and I noticed it.  I've been looking at her today, trying to find her red neck feathers, and they are all gone!  I'll be curious to see if they come back in, or if they have been gradually disappearing.  I've recently seen only one, not several around her neck like she had before.  I've read several theories, but have never seen anything definitive on why some greys have these.

 

Was so funny--while I was looking at her and trying to find her red feather, I was asking her where it went and looking all over the floor and cage bottom.  She was leaning way over, looking with me, and she seemed so serious about the whole thing.

Manu is going to be two in November...is funny how Pheobe was trying to help find those red feathers

Rosco is 1&1/2 yrs old and he has red feathers on his chest, back and neck and on top of his head in the center of his little grey feathers are red dots .The ones on his back are light grey mixed woth a spray of breathtaking bright red.   I don't think anyone could steal him because my pictures can identify him .

I've lost the web site where the CAG's in Africa had not only red feathers in sprinklings, but were mostly red all over...... At the time there were many breeders breeding those to retain this particular strain........ I have two that have smidgens of red feathers all over and I bought my female youngster for that very reason....Too2

oh wow, never heard this before.  Max doesn't have any red except his tail.  i'm going to have to watch and see if he gets any.

My gracie is still being hand fed and she has red feathers on her body, when I go to see her later I will take a new picture to post. Kathy

I wondered where this came from and how I could have missed it.... then saw the date... someone is on a "hunt" lol

 

We'll look forward to the pics Kathy
