Raven - New pics!

[RavensGryf]

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.

Omg Julie- Raven is absolutely STUNNING!!!! Such a gorgeous boy [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

And griffin- LOL I cracked up --he looks so innocent! Even when he's hanging upside down! [emoji23]

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!

That is awesome.

:32: Oh my goodness! What a STUNNING boy!!!! Can't get over his plumage. So very beautiful!!!! :smile015:

LMAO @ Griffin.

 

[Sunset_Chaser]

Raven is GORGEOUS! Very stunning Julie!

 

[Anansi]

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.

 

[labell]

Great pics! It is so hard to capture the true beauty of these birds plumage but Raven is a stunningly handsome fellow!

 

[Allee]

WOW! Raven is all grown up and breathtakingly beautiful! What a gorgeous bird.

I can't stop laughing at Griffin demanding to be the center of attention! I love that photo!

 

[Dinosrawr]

How absolutely stunning! Raven's colours are simply phenomenal, I can't get over the iridescent colours of his wing feathers! And hahahaha, Griffin makes me laugh all the time

 

[Scott]

Magnificent pics, they are both beautiful!!

 

[Kae]

Raven's coloring is absolutely gorgeous! And lol, Griffin hanging upside down, that's so cute!

 

[Kiwibird]

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.

 

[Terry57]

Raven just takes my breath away! I have never seen a BW in person, WOW! He is such a stunner!
And Griffin cracks me up, little photobomber...he needs his own FB page

 

[RavensGryf]

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.
