Aussie Finch Forum

hi,
i have a cockbird that i bought as a half coloured juvie in july last year.he is fully dark blue except for this thin strip of no colour in necklace position.its kinda annoying when i look at him that he's not full blue.is this a normal thing ? will he moult it out ? he is a pure tri colour but too hard to get a pic of him.it just looks like his colour hasnt come through on that part.
thanks

Is it that the feathers are still green round the neck?

hi finchbreeder,
yes its the juvie colour in that spot but i thought he would have fully moulted out by now

Not a Parrott finch keeper, so can't say. Was making sure you did not mean that he had gone a different colour like white or yellow - which could of been indicitave of pied blood. Hope someone else helps out.

nah no other colour there maybe it might disappear with next moult

Maybe a hybrid

Maybe have a go at getting a pic taken and posted here?

he's definately not a hybrid.i'll go out with the camera now and see if i can get a decent shot,cant promise anything lol
