Burt just dropped one of my favourite sorts of feathers today which I love to bits! I recently gave away my collection of feathers similar to this one, sotoday I start a new collection of them.

I find these ones extra interesting as they have more than one colour and also have like a little downy feather attached to the underside.
I don’t know if all macs have these or not, I know that I’ve never found them on any other bird I have had now or in the past.

Next time I'm home I'll have to snap a picture of my favorites from Grumbles! Levi tends to destroy any dropped feathers so I don't have many from her though

I love these kind too. It's amazing how the different colors just seem to blend. We have bags of JaJaBinks feathers & are saving JaKhu's as well.

That is super beautiful Shez! Very bonny.

I have a feather like that with splotches, but not as colourful, not sure where it is either. Some of my faves are Sydneys face that I started collecting a couple of moults back.

Limited interactions to keep him calm, excitement turns into impulsiveness which usually gets ugly.

So funny head size difference
I haven’t noticed any of Birdies other head feathers having both yellow and white on them. That feather was from underneath his crest.

Do you get that feather every year or was it a one time thing? That is pretty abnormal for a BG.
It's a one-off. Ive never had one like this before or since.
