Goldie's Changing Cere

[GoldieNYC]

Most interesting to me:  Goldie's cere is indeed going back to pink.  It had been so dark.  These images are from late this summer to this morning (top).  Hopefully, this might mean something pleasant for the bird, for me, for both of us.

It means she is coming out of breeding condition. It will go back in around 7 weeks or so.

Thanks.  I guess that had been foretold.  I had to see it to believe it - like an avian mood ring.

I just love the way she is always against the bars like that. It is such a social thing. You get such great photographs of her. I love all your posts and Goldie.

Thanks kindly, Phoebe.  There's so much I don't know.  The camera seems to attract her to the bars.  In fact, when she was still a stray bird, it was her adhering herself to my screened window which showed me she really wanted to interact.  Glad you're enjoying the pictures!

They have a 49 days cycle, she will keep changing her cere color accordingly.

Ins't this like women's lipstick, just that it's natural
