Bird 45

Bird 45 "Mustache"
Gender: Unknown
Birth date: March 30, 2007
Preferred Partner: Unknown

Mustache is about two weeks old in this picture. His parents are Isis (Bird 25) and Bird 20 (I believe. His dark spots make me wonder if he might be Grey's, but Isis has another young one with brown feathers as well). Either way, Bird 20 is his adoptive father.

Bird 35 is his sibling. They were born together at the end of March 2007. Bird 35 has no dark feathers.

Here you can see Mustache's dark skin before any feathers appeared. You can also see it if you look closely at the picture on the beginning of the blog entry.

As with Birds 73 and 74, Mustache seems to be the protector of his sibling - though not to the same degree. Take a peek below at how fast they change! (From April 5, 2007 to April 11, 2007)
