    So cute 💕 Those "accent" feathers come in dark on stripey birds but eventually open up normally silver/black like they're supposed to. I worried at 1st but relieved when the solid black feathers grew out to be stripey. Dana w/ some black "accent" feathers that eventually turned normal

    Poor feather growth was what I noticed on birds that were not quite "right" & were "off" in their health whether as chicks or adults. It's a real telltale sign that something is wrong ~ usually something internal like cancer or leukosis, etc. Nothing curable in those cases 🙁

    Yep, 5 pointed leaves the size of my open hand! I'll see if DH can take a pic. I cleaned up the front yard but not the back yet so hopefully there's some still intact. Have no clue what kind of maple but definitely 5 points unless some other kind of tree has 5 points?

    I don't mind pruning & keeping up my own trees since I keep them clean before they lose their leaves. I just don't appreciate picking up other people's giant palm tree leaves ~ or the CalTrans Freeway Maple tree leaves which they have not pruned or trimmed in the 40 yrs I've lived here! You can...

    Cool... to get a deep brown egg. Helps to ID the hen that lays the brown egg. Our Silkie Mika lays brown which is unusual for a Silkie to lay so dark:

    Some day I'd like to see how uneven your Coco's wattles are. I was told by another owner that wattles eventually straighten out but our Dana's never did. Dana, 4 months old w/ uneven wattle growth

    Most of the time we can say our weather is pleasant in SoCalif... but we are close to a mtn range (2 miles) which wreaks havoc weather on our suburb that most of the lower Los Angeles County basin doesn't experience ~ like very violent Santa Ana windstorms, either drought years or heavy rain...

    Grrrrr! I'm not a fan of Maple trees... for days I've been sweeping up those gigantic leaves blown in from the freeway trees in the last windstorm! The front & back yards are thick w/ blown in leaves!
