Thank you all!! It will be interesting to see how this Magna will look in 4 years. I know I can't wait, but I have a strong feeling he will look JUST like his brother. :)

AWESOME,Tab, thanks for doing this. :) He will be getting LOTS more yellow on his head, and his wings aren't done yet either. His "true" colors should be out when he is 5 years old or so. :)

Nah, that was just the reflection of the flash, Heather. :)

Wendy do you have any young young pictures of Sammy? Before the first photo i posted?


Are they born with a bit of yellow, or are they completely green, then grow the yellow in?


I cant wait to see what he looks like when hes finished colouring!
I like the fact that they change their colours! :D

He is a special birdy for sure. I love his pictures when he is on his back playing with you. This is a complete trust.
He looks similar to Simba right now, with some green on his head. Just like you, I wonder how he is going to look when older.
What fun it is for you to watch him grow.
You both are sooooooo lucky to have each other.

Here is a picture of Sam when he was around 9 weeks. They are born butt naked HAHAHAHAHHA. As they feather in, they only have a bit of yellow on their foreheads, and over time it will cover their entire head (Magnas). They will also start off with only a wee bit of red on their shoulders, then that will spread, mixed with yellow. AND they develop their yellow thighs as they mature.

Wow, how time flies! :eek:

Sam is going to be 3 next month, and I took a whole lot of pictures of the fids yesterday, so I figured I'd put them in here for comparison reason.

He's coloring very nicely. Can't wait to see what he'll look like in another 3 years or so. :D









Can't just do Sam...sorry about that. Here's Hunter, too.

And here are some blurry pictures of Hunter & Sam taking care of each other. :)









Sam couldn't help himself. I was cutting up some veggies for dinner, and he had to have some cucumber...
