...his face..and head...it looks like the little guy has some hideous disease! Blotches of yellow everywhere! :11: It's taking forever for him to do his first molt...and he still can't fly. , <Not from lack of trying!>

Hey! I can't see anything in that pic! LOL his entire head is all blurry.

... but if it makes you feel any better it's going to get MUCH worse LOL :) I know I've posted this pic before but he's going to look like Rascal did when his face was changing into the yellow mask :p Rascal also used to have a VERY pale beak and also white feet (that had tons of dark tiny spots all over them!) and his beak and feet turned dark grey eventually... not sure if same will happen to BB with his beak and feet or not...

Sorry about the picture quality there Juliet :rolleyes: lol..

Looking at Rascals picture, BB looks darn close to that with his face and head lol.

Check out this old pic I just found of Rascal when he was a baby and his face was turning yellow. Soon BB is going to look like this haha :D

 
BB is precious even in a blurry shot. Hoping he hurries and moults, poor Baby:)

I'd LOVE to see a non-blurry pic of BB's face in transition. I like the speckled look... it's rad :)

I wish I remembered how long it took for the face to turn solid yellow.... but Rascal looked like a totally different bird back then!
 
I remember when Baby was...well...a baby...and he had the dull yellow colors until he molted and found out he was a male. During the molts, they will look like a spiked chicken. Otherwise...after the molt it turns bright yellow and he will be a pretty bird again.
