Hey everyone,
Had some time a few days ago to take pictures of our guy, Franklin that I wanted to share. They were taken with a Canon T3 using a 100-300mm lens.
So I've read that birds have some kind of an oil gland at or near the base of their tail that they use to get oils on their beak, then preen the oils onto their feathers. I'm guessing that unusual white "feather" is his oil gland. Interesting to see it!
And in one picture he almost looks like he's dancing
Anyway, here's our guy! Pictures are not altered or enhanced in any way. He really IS that bright!
Franklin is 8 months old now, his hatch date was March 15th, 2011.
