Moulting
Posted: 23 Aug 2011, 09:21
An odd thing has happened with my pair of normal stars (which bred 6 young last season), after moulting it is difficult to tell them apart!, except for the different coloured leg rings.
The male seems to have lost most of the red on the face to look like a hen, still has spots under chin though and sings all the time. He would be 3-4 years old I guess.
They are looking to build nest again now.
I sold young last year before fully coloured up, although a couple were singing at the time. Would have been intereting to see how they coulored up?
Has this happened to any one elses stars?
