Just had a look at Blueboys cere this evening and it seems to be going lighter in the middle - like a hens cere would be when not in breeding condition. Can someone explain why this would happen?! Click on pic to enlarge and you'll see what I mean. It's taken with no flash. Thanks Marianne  |

With his health problems recently, it would make sense for him not to be in peak breeding condition now.

i agree he's probably just coming out of breeding condition. I like Hezz's explanation too.

This cere means, going or already out of condition. His eggs won't be fertile if he is paired now.

I know you know Any idea how to help calm Blueboy? What is not calm with him? He is always stressed out. He makes distressed noises, especially at night-time - we actually think he's even scared of the dark. |

Can you leave a radio on low for him? Do you think that would help? And a night-light? Like a kiddies light?
