My white bird

[Lovebirds]

I just took a few pictures and got a couple of my one and only white bird. I don't think I've ever posted a picture of her. She's my little pride and joy.

Yes, I got two babies off of her this year and two last year. She's on the race team so she's only allowed to raise one round. I'll try to get some pictures of her babies. One is a blue grizzle and one is almost as white as she is. I would say if I ever let her go, I'll let you know, but I doubt she ever leaves here.

do you give your birds anything extra like suppliments/vitamins, or anything in the water? Your birds look so healthy and calm.

It's camera trickery!! LOL
No, not really........they get vitamins once a week, ACV once a week, nothing special. They really aren't THAT calm..........they know somehow when I'm coming in the loft to just "visit" and when I'm coming in to catch them and take them away. It's like two totally different flocks of birds........the one on my arm......she's always been very friendly. Not sure why. I can go out and talk to her in the aviary and she'll drag her tail and coo for me. She's a sweetie.

Beautiful bird, Renee!

We have one with a very similar patch of coloration, but she is not a racer with that regal look .

Renee, she is gorgeous. I don't know what it is about white birds but their feathers seem to have a different texture than others. Her feathers are so smooth and pretty.

She is just lovely, what a beauty!

HI RENEE, You have a very fine looking bird there and one that i would be proud to have in my loft.You know she is a white grizzle you can see it in the tail I bet she has red/orange eyes that is another way to tell a white grizzle from a regular white. Truly a very nice bird. .GEORGE

I would guess that this bird had alot more dark feathers when it was younger, a stork mark which has lightened all the way to tail marked.

George, I believe she has bull eyes.......but maybe they are so dark red/orange they look black??? I'll have to check. I know she's really a grizzle and that's the color I list on the the race sheet, but she's the only "white" bird I've ever had that flew good, or stuck around long enough to fly for that matter.......so I like to call her "white"......
