Matty
Doing well, selectively feeding itself. Will only eat thawed blueberries, red beans, sultanas, the rest still has to be hand fed to ensure that all nutritional requirements are met,(chickpeas, coffee berries, other fruits etc.) Looks normal until feed time then reverts to a pathetic, hangdog, droopy winged waif. Photo update tomorrow. D.N.A. results in about two weeks.Thanks for asking.

Awesome tintola, will he be a keeper then? Can't wait to see his new portraits
By the way what is a coffee berry?

[mattymeischke]

Great work, T. Looking forward to the pics.

Jay, coffee berries are the red fruit of the coffee bush; their seed is the coffee bean.

Just beautiful, Tintola, well done.

The bald head makes him look a bit vulturine, but I know (s)he'll do an 'ugly duckling' transformation in due course.

Thanks for the update.

The photo of your termite mound orphans remound me of this Wompoo.
(S)he must be fully fledged by now. Did you get the DNA back?

Hope you and your Wompoo are happy and well,
mm.

[Tintola]

Yes Matty, still doing well, finally independent. DNA results were a hen. I will post a teenager, updated photo of her later on today.

Thank you, Tintola.
