@todaysbird I need some help identifying something and I was wondering if you knew something about it;
We’ve got a whole bunch of king parrots that live around the house, and I’ve noticed that some of the adult females have peach-coloured spots on the end of each tail feather while some don’t (none of the males have these spots). I couldn’t really find any sources on it so I was wondering if you knew anything about whether it’s a colour mutation of some kind.
(They’re not the exact same feather because I only collect feathers from the ground, but the one on the left has the peach spot and the one on the right does not. Both are from separate adult females)
Technically two feathers is not a full bird so here ya go

The Crested Pigeon! A commonly spotted native of Australia beloved for their silly dances and calming coos.
As with most common Australian Birds, there's a weird amount of people who mistake them for an invasive species.

A Galah for @chromatic-lamina, looking soft and yet very attentive - probably moments from mischief, knowing them! Thanks so much for donating to help these kids!

I've been beading today - working on stocking up these cuties, two of my favourite local birds: the gang gang and the crimson rosella :D
The real birds are so full of character and amazing splashes of colour.
Available in my shop!
