Bird 50

Bird 50 "Grey"
Gender: Male
Birth date: Unknown (from older group)
Preferred Partner: Blanca (Bird 60)


Until Mustache (Bird 45) hatched a few weeks ago, Grey was unique in our lab. He was the only bird with a few gray feathers. He is also one of the few birds with a more developed cere (see also Birds 37 and 49). See the pictures below for his gray tail feathers, the small spot on the back of his head, and his cere.





Grey is very familiar with the shaping exercise for PSYC 4725. He was brought in as an example for the class I took and he did so well, that none of our groups was allowed to choose him! It could have just been that he had worked with those particular materials before, or that Dr. Hesse is the master shaper, but either way, he has experience and may be a good choice for those of you saying, "What's shaping?"



Here is a picture of Blanca and Grey hanging out together as they so often do.
