MAGNA DYH Changing Colors (photo extensive)

[Pinkbirdy]

Love seeing Sam on his back ! Wendy do you know if this is a common time of year when zons molt?

 

[Jtbirds]

Wow Wendy he is looking great. At least he doesn't have that look in his eye my dyh does, mine can be quite the handful. Sam looks great and I love the pictures of him on his back.

Super cute...Parker will be 1 on May 2nd and me and my husband will be married 4 years on the 24..Parker is just now going through his first big molt, between him and Keiko there are feathers everywhere lol

Thank you!! Aaww....Sam's birthday is a VERY lucky number.

I hear you with the feathers, my Niko is molting alongside Sam and it isn't pretty. LOL

 

[JerseyWendy]

Hey,

Sam is gorgeous and he is lucky to have you too so he must be sharing your feeling too Mine is turning 1 in May as well and I can notice there are few new small yellow feathers on the head and face and thighs too! I can't wait!

Thanks so much, Moody.
Yes, Sam is VERY lovable (most of the time), but he's still my Firecracker, lol.
Oh you wait, your baby will color in before you know it. Isn't it amazing how they change right before your eyes?

When my oldest son came home from Basic Training at Christmas time, he was in AWE how Sam changed in only 2 months. I guess he'll be even more amazed if he gets to come home for a week next month.

Thanks a million!! No, my Hunter (YN) is NOT molting at all at the moment. She usually goes through it after breeding season is over, I want to say in May/June. And she is NOT a breeder either, but that is when she usually goes through her molt.

Thanks so much, Justin.

Oh....I know "that" look VERY well. I call it the "spiral eyes" or "demon look". But he doesn't intimidate me easily. Unless he growls AND does the evil eye, THEN I back away .... slowly.

Yasmin, you have me smiling from ear to ear. Thank you!!! Zon-euphoria...LMBO...HAHAHAHA!

Yes, I can do anything and everything with my young man. Ask me if I can still do that in 5 years down the road, when his manlihood kicks in.

Haha! And I'll bet you two will get over his, er, puberty FINE, it will just be some more grumpy mixed in with adorable for a bit.

HAHAHA!!! I'll let you know when the time comes. I think we'll be fine though. Quincy, Sam's brother, was GREAT when he matured. A bit tricky at times, yes, but he was never down right vicous.

Soo i had a look at the pictures i have of Sam on my computer.. yes.. i have pictures saved of Sam :54: hahaha

and he is getting more yellow on his face right, ALOT more?

I have no idea with amazons molt :09: Will he keep getting more yellow feathers?

He is adorable, such a sweet boy! Just wanna give him a cuddle

 

[Jtbirds]

With age dyh get more and more yellow. I've seen some old ones have like yellow straight down to there neck it is beautiful.

Tab come cuddle my dyh he loooooves to cuddle, joking I don't want you to have some plastic surgery needed.. He's a brat. Even tonight he thought he'd wonder around the bird room playgyms and then come and try and bite me thinking he is big lol. Puny amazon thinks he is a hyacinth.

 

[henpecked]

Yes they "yellow" with age. All of the amazon species do. They will also "yellow' with injury, such as plucking, wounds ,etc. Have you not seen the pictures of my mature Yellow nape ,Jake? She's starting to look like a "grey beaked Double Yellow Head". I found three more large yellow pins on her neck tonight, during our nightly ritual. She has a yellow collar now and yellow feathers starting down her back. BTW Jake (Jakiepoo) is now 43.

 

[Jtbirds]

She is beautiful hen.... I'd love to own a yellow napes that looked like that really. We have one up at the rescue ATM who has an large amount of yellow and blue on her... It's so beautiful.

Instead of making a new thread about my Sam, I figured I'd update here.

Just took these pictures of my Bub...he is 18 months now, and full of himself. Talks, whistles, sings, plays non stop, and LOVES laying on his back still.

 

[Blancaej]

Great pictures Wendy! Sam is just adorable and his coloring is gorgeous!! He is so darn cute! I would love to see some updated pics of your other fids, too!

 

[Merlee]

Great pics! I think it would be great to see how other birds' colors have changed since babyhood. This would give members an idea of what to expect by certain ages.

 

[thekarens]

He's a beautiful DYH!

 

[Merlee]

I would like to see what the parents look like so we can see the potential of what he will become in the future.

 

[Bundiibird]

Beautiful pics of Sam, Wendy. He is beautiful. I just love the colours.

I like the last pics. He seems to be thinking do I change my pose or shall I just give the birdy "puppy dog" eyes.
