2025 grey-green male is now ready for the next available breeding cage. I really like the overall look of this bird—he’s a little nervous, but you can clearly see his quality.

His facial features show excellent depth of mask, well-sized spots, and clean directional feather. All that’s left now is selecting the right mate to bring out his best. | Paul Stannard
