Just took this pic of Rascal and Coconut:)

I think cinnamons have become my favorite mutation. I can't wait for Coconut to go through first molt he will be so beautiful... such a soft velvety tan coloring on him :)

Rascal has white spots on back of his head so he has some pied in him. It's funny because Coconut has the same white spots in same place... Super difficult to take photo of it because they won't stop moving!

I love cinnamon 'taupe' color too. He's beautiful (Rascal also). Coconut is still wearing baby clothes, but wait till he gets his 'adult' suit on, you will have 2 stunningly handsome little guys!

My favorite has always been the normals (just how Mother Nature made them to be)... but cinnamons have really grown on me they are such an interesting color.

All of them are beauties of course.. but it's fun to have different variations of them.

I was originally going to get another grey like Rascal but I'm very happy I got a cinnamon instead :D

... do cinnamon babies ever lose their cinnamon and turn into another variation after their first molt? I hope Coconut will stay a cinnamon... I really love cinnamons :)

I love the coloration of cinnamons.
This is Kiko as an adult, so I believe cinnamons can come in different shades of cinnamon.

Thanks for the pic... Kiko is gorgeous! :D

I think Coconut just might end up looking like Kiko as I think Coconut might end up turning slightly darker than he is now because I looked again at his new feathers he is growing and they are indeed darker than his current coat. At first I thought they aren't... but now it definitely looks darker now that they have grow more and I can see the feathers even better. I love cinnamons!

While his shade may change slightly, cinnamons retain their cinnamon coloring throughout life.

The normals are my favorite just like Mother Nature made them to be :)

... but I now love the cinnamons equally. I can't stop staring at Coconut. His coloring is just so pretty!.... I love having a normal grey and a cinnamon. The contrast between the two of them is very nice :D
