Awww the poor little things, they actually look like they survived the ordeal ok but the customs people looked in no rush to get them out of the predicament.

It is a real gem of a bird.

I can't help myself with mutations, so....
Is there colour in the plumage or is that just shdaow and an artifact of the photo? Albinoes have no colour whatsoever. Can't see the eyes. They should be red/pink.

Still, who really cares! It's simply lovely!

Yes, thanks dad!! I did enlarge it and you're probably right but I can't really tell if it's red or plum coloured. Can I borrow you glasses?? :) :wave:
