Ronnie loosing his baby fluff

26 Jan 2012
Ronnie is now coming down while my hands are still in the cage when I change his food and water.   I put him outside by the bird feeder for a short time only.  He likes it but is quite happy to be in his usual spot.   I think his tail feathers are starting to grow and it looks as if he is loosing some of his baby fluff.  He looks real scruffy.  He should still be a nestling, I think.
