Diesel's neck ring is coming through quite strongly now. He has speckles of pink also across the back of his neck. Looks a little manky as he is moulting but by summer he will look stunning!

He was just waiting for the right time to come out & strut his finery.....must be some hen in the area that's caught his eye ! ! !

That's often the beginning of the end for us males ! ! ! We find ourselves caught & find ourselves in a life of domesticity, no more going out with the guys.....

Barney is about two years old and there's not a trace of anything by way of a ring! I cling to the fact that he's much bigger and a completely different shape to Madge. I'm in no hurry for him to get his ring, I just hope it comes eventually... The Beaks are just beginning to moult now, so I sort of thought there might be some glimpses of black or pink with the new plumage. I was a late bloomer myself, so I can sympathise. I only hope Barney-boy doesn't make me wait the full three years to be sure he's not really a Bernadette! :22_yikes:

Diesel is a very handsome guy! Your baby is almost all grown up!

Trish, be patient, Barney can't be a Bernadette.

Thanks! If you can believe it, even in the last week alone again the plumage has rocketed through even more. Will post pics soon.

Hi There

Just to show you all how amazingly fast his plumage is coming through, I took these new photos this weekend.
