Pico is going through his juvenile molt and I think his high red gene coming through, so much red feathers!

He's also growing in some random red feathers on his wing "shoulders". His high red parent and high red sibling both had a bit of red on their wing shoulders but I didn't expect it to manifest in Pico since he was the less red of his siblings along with his sister.

Hehe I can't wait either! :swoon:
I'm hoping his yellow belly feathers stay right as they are though since I find the semi heart, v-shape it makes to be adorable haha
