Has anyone seen this before? Unusual color patternI just got this feral squeaker. It has bad splay leg so will join my gimpy birds.
I haven't ever seen this patterning before so thought I'd run it past you here on the forum. Along with the black wing edges, it has a lot of red that you can see in the flights. Who knows how it will moult out into adult feather. Margaret Last edited by Margarret; 29th September 2009 at 06:22 PM.

Guess the leg can't be fixed huh? Poor baby..........

I think it is a stork marked (that is the dark wing tips and tail) homozygous (meaning he got a double dose of the grizzle gene, both parents gave it to him) blue grizzle with bronzing. Very pretty bird!

Yup, it's a stork mark
 I've never seen a stork mark feral before, except for strays from people's lofts. I just can't see two feral grizzles happen to mate up and have stork babies. Not very likely, but I guess it happens!

I'd put money on Becky's advice .... but, of course, I have NO CLUE. He sure is pretty, though! Hope you can help his legs.

Thanks everyone for identifying the markings. Yes, Becky, it seems unlikely to me too, that two feral grizzles would mate and produce this kid. I don't know where he came from. My rehabber friend said she got a call from a guy who said he found a dove with a broken leg. When he arrived he had this little pigeon with splay leg. I jut assumed it is feral, I really don't know.

Well, Margaret, Stork or not...guess he may not be delivering babies for awhile, eh??
 He sure is a beauty and I hope you will be able to help his legs! I know he's in great hands and look forward to great updates!! Love and Hugs Shi

That is one pretty bird! Maybe the parents are escaped domesticated pigeons (ferals).

This is what it is and they can moult away alot of the dark or they can keep it. It's attractive when they do keep the black tips. Bill
