Oh, now, Mango is not tiny ....... she was once. She is the same size as Misty and Spyro thereabouts. Smudgie was my smallest bird, but she was also my heaviest. Maybe it is a girl thing. Ok without sounding all geek like but could it be females have to be a bit weighty as to when they have eggs they have enough breast to cover the brood to keep them warm? Just a thought

I think it is quite possible; I was thinking of the whole egg production gig being rather weighty as well. Or it could be just those girl genes .......

Looking at your JoJo's cere Marianne, do you find when he pinnies are coming through they seem to be more sore than your other buds with her being white? Pippin's can look really sore and an odd bleed but JoJo, who us yellow doesn't have the soreness just a miserable little madam.
