Hawk Head Eye Ring Colors

[Jan]

I just noticed in looking at your guys HH photos that your HH's all seem to have a light gray coloring eye ring color. Chester has a brown eye ring color. Wonder why. Not sure at this point what it means, I have not investigated any info on it as of yet. Does anyone know perhaps?

You can look back on my photos of Chester where I show his beak trim, it shows his brown eye rings.

How old is Chester and where did he come from? I don't have a clue right off what it could be either.

I was going to look for Titanis' Brazilian photos. But He appears to have the buff colored head..hmm. I don't have a clue either. Cochise has dark eyes, unlike most adults, who have the golden eyes.

Jan are you referring to the actual eye or the skin around it? Cash's skin is still a light gray but it has gotten darker since I first got him. His eyes are still a grayish-yellow.

I Love Cochise's eyes, I wish Cash's would stay dark like that

Chester is 14 years old, not sure where he came from... I would think from here within the U.S. I had bought him up in Northern California.

Yes, the skin part is dark brown. See my image in this post.

Chester and Cochise are the same age.
