I thought now would be a good time to show an update on Raven .
First.... he is 99% in his mature colors now ! He is so much more handsome in his shiny navy blue suit. I call his salmon pink throat feathers his "chest hair" LOL :18: He and Griffin are still wet from a shower, which is why Raven's back looks that way, and Griffin looks a bit disheveled .





This pic I took last month... Griffin likes to be a 'background person' in your photos as much as possible. I have several pics with a little Griffin peeking in the background lol, but this was the funniest.

So beautiful! Pray tell where you got him? I once scoured high and low but couldn't even identify a breeder for bronze wings. I'm very curious about them.

Thanks Chris . He was shipped from Maggie Tarleton in Indiana. She specializes in Cape parrots and Greys. Took a good while for me to find him too. I had a female BW who passed 10 years ago, and I wanted another one. The BW Pi's aren't in demand plus they're said to be hard to breed for some reason.

Thanks Shirre! I love his new color too . Bronze Winged juveniles are so drab looking in comparison. He's growing up... I guess next comes the hormones oh boy! ... and Griffin is NEVER innocent LOL!

Wow! These pics were well worth the wait, Lady Jules! Raven's adult plumage is stunning! You need to do a comparison post so we can see the juvenile and adult plumage within the same thread. (Not too demanding, am I? Heh, heh.)

And Griffin is a trip, photo-bombing in the background! Hahahahaha!

What an incredibly beautiful bird Raven is! I don't think I've ever seen such vibrant dark colors before! Vibrant and dark are contradictions somehow, but Raven shows that darkness can be vibrant I am so fascinated I can't stop looking at him.

Raven is really becoming stunning! His plumage is amazing, that blue is just.... beautiful.

As for that little photo bomber in the background:54: I think SOMEONE would like his own photoshoot.

Thank you so much for the kind comments everyone ! Raven thanks everyone also! I will dig up an old pic of Raven to show the interesting color change.

Griffin is definitely demanding his own photo shoot too . He is not modest like his older Poi cousin Robin lol.
